मंदिर
They say Kashi holds more temples than any census can finish counting — shrines in walls, lingas under peepal trees, gods at every turning. These six are the spine of any yatra: the Jyotirlinga himself, his queen, his kotwal, the goddess of the south, the reliever of troubles, and a scripture written in marble.
Kashi's temples are living shrines, not museums. Phones and cameras are banned in the major ones (free lockers wait at the gates), leather is best left at your hotel, and modest dress is everywhere appreciated. Mondays belong to Shiva, Tuesdays and Saturdays to Hanuman, festival days to everyone at once — plan accordingly, or embrace the queue as the first ritual. The classic sequence is Vishwanath with a Ganga bath at Dashashwamedh, then Annapurna beside him, and Kaal Bhairav's permission before you leave the city. Our yatra tips page covers the practical details.
