Veni Madhav Temple

The Veni Madhav Temple, located in the sacred city of Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad), is a revered shrine dedicated to Lord Vishnu, worshipped here as Veni Madhav. This temple holds immense religious importance, especially during the grand Kumbh Mela, when devotees from across India visit to seek blessings. The name “Veni Madhav” refers to the Lord who resides at the confluence (Triveni Sangam) of the three holy rivers—Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati. This divine union of rivers adds a unique spiritual charm to the temple.

The temple is one of the twelve Madhav temples that once graced Prayagraj, each representing a different form of Lord Vishnu. Although only a few remain today, Veni Madhav Temple continues to be a center of devotion and tradition. The peaceful ambiance, traditional architecture, and rich mythological significance make it a must-visit for spiritual seekers and pilgrims alike. Whether during major festivals or on an ordinary day, the temple offers a glimpse into the deep-rooted cultural and religious fabric of Prayagraj.
