The sanctum sanctorum of Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple is glowing with golden aura. The entire sanctum sanctorum is decorated with gold leaves and this gold work is equal to the weight of the mother of PM Narendra Modi. If sources are to be believed, 60 kg of gold was sent from the PMO to be installed in the sanctum.
The new, grand and divine form of Shrikashi Vishwanath Dham appeared in front of the devotees on Mahashivratri with a golden aura. Devotees had darshan and Jalabhishek of Baba in the golden sanctum. The unique shade of Baba’s court made him happy. The inner walls of the sanctum are covered with gold.
After the festival, the doorways and outer walls will also be covered with gold. A Karabori from South India has donated gold and it is said that it is equal to the weight of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mother Heeraben, who has been gifted to make the Shrikashi Vishwanath Temple sanctum sanctorum golden when she turns 100.
His name has been kept confidential at the request of the donor. When Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to Banaras on Sunday, he had darshan of Baba and Rudrabhishek in the temple sanctum. At the same time the golden picture of the sanctum sanctorum came in front of the people. On December 13, the PM visited Benares for the first time after dedicating the new grand form of Shrikashi Vishwanath temple.
Chairman of Shrikashi Vishwanath Temple Executive Committee, Divisional Commissioner Deepak Agarwal told that 60 kg gold has been received. 37 kilograms of gold is used to put gold plates on the inner walls of the sanctum. The remaining 23 kilograms of gold will be mounted on the outer walls as well as on the door frame and door.
