À propos de cet audio
The Kashi Vishwanath Temple stands as one of the most revered shrines in India, embodying centuries of devotion, destruction, and revival. In this episode, we explore the temple's rich history - from its original construction and multiple demolitions by invaders to its grand reconstructions. We also delve into its deep spiritual significance as an axis mundi in Varanasi, a sacred city dedicated to Shiva. Finally, we discuss the recent large-scale redevelopment of the temple complex, analyzing its intersection with Hindu nationalism, heritage tourism, and the evolving social fabric of Varanasi. Join us as we unravel the complex interplay of faith, politics, and urban transformation surrounding this iconic temple.
