Durga Kund Temple

Durga Kund Temple, located in the sacred city of Varanasi, is a highly revered shrine dedicated to Goddess Durga, symbolizing divine strength and protection. The temple houses a self-manifested (swayambhu) idol of the goddess, which is believed to have appeared on its own and not crafted by any human hands.

Built in the 18th century in a North Indian Nagara style, the temple is painted in vibrant red, symbolizing the energy and fierceness of the goddess. Adjacent to the temple lies the Durga Kund, a holy pond considered spiritually potent and historically significant.

During Navratri, the temple draws thousands of devotees who come to worship the divine mother and seek her blessings for protection, prosperity, and victory over obstacles. The Durga Kund Temple stands as a timeless beacon of faith, feminine power, and divine grace in the heart of Kashi.
