Kashi Vishwanath Temple:
Situated on the western bank of holy river Ganga in Varanasi, Kashi Vishwanath Temple is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas or temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. The main deity of Kashi Vishwanath Temple is Lord Shiva, also known as Vishwanatha or Vishweshwarar meaning 'the ruler of the universe'. The city of Varanasi, the cultural capital of India, is thus known as the city of Lord Shiva. The temple has 800 kg of gold plating on its tower.
In the olden times, on special festivals such as Shivaratri, the king of Kashi (Kashi Naresh) visited the temple for worship during which nobody else is allowed to enter the temple premises. Devotees were allowed after the king had concluded his prayers. The importance of the Kashi Vishwanath Temple also stems from the fact that it finds mentions in several Holy Scriptures of the Hindus. On the outside, the temple is adorned with intricate carvings that impart a divine quality to the facade. Other than that, the temple also houses several other small temples such as Kaalbhairav, Vishnu, Virupaksh Gauri, Vinayaka and Avimukteshwara.
Annapurna devi temple:
In her Gauri form, Parvati also lost her light skin. To regain her "Gauri"form, she pleaded with Shiva for assistance. In Kashi, Shiva requested that she give Anna (food). She assumed the appearance of Annapurna, the goddess of food, complete with a golden pot and ladle, and distributed food in Varanasi.
Sri Vishalakshi Temple:
The temple is dedicated to Goddess Vishalakshi Devi, the divine form of Goddess Sati. This temple is one among the 51 Shakti Peethas, and is part of the famous triad of temples- Kanchi Kamakshi, Madurai Meenakshi and Kashi Vishalakshi. According to mythology, the earring of the goddess Sati has fallen on this holy spot of Varanasi. Another version says that this is a Shakti Peetha only because one of the three eyes of Goddess Sati (Akshi) fell here. As the divine eye can perceive the entire universe, Mother here is called Vishalakshi, the vast-eyed.
Sri Vishalakshi Temple is built in South Indian architectural style. The Gopuram at the entrance has elaborate carvings and the temple has an array of Shivlingams. The four pillars in front of the main shrine are adorned with colorful sculptures. The Garbhagriha has two idols of Goddess Vishalakshi- a smaller black stone idol called Adi Vishalakshi, which is believed to be the original idol on left back side and another black stone image, adorned with flowers and jewels, installed at a later date. Adi Shankaracharya performed prayers to renew the powers of the temple and the goddess which had borne the brunt of several invasions. He also installed a Sri Yantram here.

Allepo Devi temple:
This temple is peculiar in that there is no statue of any deity in this temple, rather, there is a wooden carriage or 'doli' which is worshipped. The origin of the name, Alopi (disappeared) Bagh lies in the Hindu belief that after the death of his wife Sati, the grieving Shiva travelled through skies with her dead body. Vishnu, to relieve him from this agony, threw his Chakra at the corpse, resulting in the fall 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.
Another more credible version is found in oral history traditions narrated by old inhabitants of the area. It dates back to the time when the entire region was covered by dense forests infested with dreaded dacoits. A marriage procession happened to pass through the forest. Marriage processions, in medieval times, used to be the most vulnerable targets of robbers as they used to return loaded with gold and other riches received as gifts.
Swaraj Bhavan:
Swaraj Bhavan (formerly Anand Bhavan, meaning Abode of Bliss) is a large mansion located in Prayagraj, India, best known for once being owned by the Indian political leader Motilal Nehru and being home to the Nehru family until 1930.
It is managed by the 'Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Fund', Delhiand functions as a museum open to the public. It has 42 rooms and a number of memorabilia including a charkha used by Mahatma Gandhi, photographs of the Indian freedom movement, personal belongings of the Nehru family and an underground room that is said to have been used occasionally for meetings.
Hanumanji Temple:
Close to the Prayagraj Fort is another attraction the Bade Hanumanji Temple. Also known as Lete Hanuman Temple, it enshrines a 20-ft-long idol of the deity, in a supine or reclining position. It is the only temple of its kind in the world where Lord Hanuman is worshipped in this position. Legend has it that after burning Lanka, as mentioned in the epic Ramayana, Lord Hanuman was tired and on the insistence of Goddess Sita, laid down to rest at the site where now stands the red-stone temple. What's interesting about this shrine is that the idol of the lord appears some six to seven ft under the ground in a pit bordered by red-orange pillars and fences.

Hanuman Garhi:
Naimisharanya is specked with various holy pilgrimage sites, and Hanuman Garhi is one of them. Dedicated to Lord Hanuman, it is a historical sacred site in Naimisharanya that holds a prosperous mythic importance.
The theme of this temple is a mythological event which portrays the emergence of Lord Hanuman from Patal Lok (underworld). In this event, he is accompanied by Lord Ram and his brother, Lord Laxmana, after winning against Ahiravana.
One of the major allures of this popular Hindu temple in Uttar Pradesh is the stone idol of Lord Hanuman carrying Lord Rama and Lakshman on his shoulder.
Hanuman Garhi is often inferred to as Dakshineshwar Temple as the presiding God of the temple faces the south (dakshin) direction. Besides its sacred importance, the temple furthermore attracts a lot of visitors because of the serene aura surrounding it.
Kanak Bhawan:
Kanak Bhawan is to the north-east of Ram Janam Bhumi, Ramkot, in Ayodhya. Kanak Bhawan is one of the finest and famous temples in Ayodhya and is a must visit. It is believed that this Bhawan was gifted to Devi Sita by Kaikei immediately after her marriage to Lord Ram. This is private palace of Devi Sita and Lord Rama. Vikramaditya got it renovated. Later it was rebuilt/renovated by Vrish Bhanu Kunwari which exists even today. The main idols installed in the garbhgrih (sanctum), are of Lord Ram and Devi Sita.
Dashrath Bhawan:
Dashrath Bhawan is located right in the heart of Ayodhya. It is thought to have been built in the same location as the original palace of the King, Lord Ram’s father. Lord Ram and his siblings spent their childhood and adolescence in this region. The Bhavan contains a shrine with Shri Ram, Lakshman, and Sita idols. The temple is accessible by a large and colourful entrance. When you visit the temple, you will be swept up in religious fervour.
Sadhus and saints dressed in orange robes continue to recite the dohas and chuapais from the Ramayana and other scriptures, accompanied by musicians. Despite the fact that the Bhavan is much smaller than its original equivalent, where King Dasrath may have lived, it attracts swarms of believers who travel here to witness the spot where Rama was born and spent his formative years.
