Annapurna Devi temple, Varanasi
The goddess of nourishment, whose temple stands beside Vishwanath. Almost nobody visits it as a separate trip, because it is a two-minute walk from the main temple once you are already inside the gali.

- You walk
- Combined with the Vishwanath walk.
- Allow
- Add 20 minutes to the Vishwanath stop.
When to go
Whenever you do Vishwanath. Annakut, just after Diwali, is its own major occasion and extremely crowded.
Getting here
Both our vans reach the same drop point — a Force Urbania — 17 Seater at ₹30/km or the Maharaja Urbania — 9 Seater at ₹37/km. Where a stop involves a walk, the van waits rather than being re-booked, so you are not looking for it afterwards in a crowd.
Questions
- Is Annapurna temple near Kashi Vishwanath?
- Adjacent to it. Both are reached on the same ten-minute walk from Godowlia, and most visitors do them together — allow about twenty minutes more than a Vishwanath-only stop.
