Travel & arrival
Inside Banaras Hindu University in the Lanka area of Varanasi. Search for New Vishwanath Temple (VT), BHU, rather than the older Kashi Vishwanath Temple.
Travel by taxi, auto-rickshaw or local transport towards Lanka and the BHU campus. Allow time for city traffic and university entry arrangements.
Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport serves Varanasi. Continue by road towards BHU; traffic can be heavy across the city.
The Lanka and BHU area can be combined with other southern Varanasi attractions. Plan the historic Kashi Vishwanath Dham as a separate old-city visit.
Check the latest campus entry, vehicle and temple timings. Give the full BHU temple name when booking local transport.
Check current route conditions, local transport and festival traffic before travelling.
Darshan & visitor guidance
Darshan information
New Vishwanath Temple is located inside the BHU campus and is generally visited by students, residents and pilgrims. Check current temple opening hours and any campus access rules before travelling.
Festival days and university events may affect vehicle access or queues. Because the temple is separate from Kashi Vishwanath Dham, confirm that your driver or map destination specifies “New Vishwanath Temple, BHU” or “Birla Mandir, BHU.”
Prepare for your visit
- Confirm current darshan hours and entry arrangements.
- Allow time for queues, especially during festivals.
- Follow the temple’s dress, footwear and photography rules.
