Kashi Vishwanath Temple of Varanasi

Varanasi is said to be the place where the first Jyotirlinga, the fiery pillar of light by which Lord Shiva manifested his supremacy over other gods, broke through the earth's crust. More than the Ghats and even the river Ganga, it is the Shivalinga installed in the temple that remains the devotional focus of Varanasi. Open only to Hindus. The 'Arti' is performed here at different times and by different names in a grand manner and is worth seeing.

Alopi Devi Mandir

Alopi Devi Mandir is situated in Alopibagh in Allahabad very near to the holy Sangam. This temple is peculiar in a way that there is no statue of any Deity in this temple rather there is a wooden carriage or 'doli' which is worshiped. The origin of the name, Alopi (disappeared) Bagh lies in the Hindu belief that when after the death of his wife Sati, grieving Lord Shiva was traveling in skies with her dead body, Lord Vishnu, to relieve him from this agony, threw his Chakra at the corpse, resulting in the drop of various parts of the body at various places in India, which were sanctified by the touch of the Goddess' body parts and hence were thereby deemed holy places for pilgrimage. The last part fell at this location thereby named as Alopi (where disappearance was concluded) and the holiest of all.

Shankar Viman Mandapam is a 130 ft high, four storied building that is situated near the Sangam in Allahabad. This place holds the idols of Kumarail Bhatt, JagadGuru Sahnkracharaya, Kamakshi Devi and Tirupati Balaji.
 

Allahabad Fort

The Allahabad Fort was built by Emperor Akbar in 1583 and stands on the northern banks of the river Yamuna close to Sangam. Allahabad Fort with its huge and massive walls and three gateways is a major attraction. Allahabad fort is currently being used by the army at present and only a limited area is open to visitors. The main attraction of the Fort is the Ashoka Pillar, containing decrees and inscription of victories of Samudragupta, since the times of Ashoka.
 
Inside the fort there is the Zenana, Palace of Mariam-uz-Zamani and Saraswati Koop, which is said to be the source of the Saraswati River. The Patalpuri temple is also situated here. Akshaya Vat - so called immortal tree is also located inside the Fort, near the southern wall and can be seen from outside the southern wall of the fort.
