Most of the temples that are located on the Ganga Ghats are old and date back to the medieval period. According to legends the first Shiva Jyotirlinga, the fiery pillar of light, came through the earth here and flared into the sky. Therefore Varanasi is also called Kashi, "the City of Light."

Other important temples of Varanasi are the new Vishwanath temple, the Sankat Mochan temple, the Durga temple, the Kal Bhairav temple and the Mrityunjaya temple.
