Kashi of Vishwanath has been a venerated centre of Bharatiya civilization going back millennia. The abode of Shiva in Kashi, the Viswanath temple, was destroyed at least thrice over the centuries. But according to the Hindu theory of sthana-mahatmya, a temple site remains a temple site forever. Vishwanath remains a symbol of faith, resistance, and of eternity. This episode of Likhawat explores the magnificent world of Kashi.
