DurgaKund Temple Pilgrimage

Durga Temple, a sanctuary of Goddess Durga, who is believed to be the guardian of Varanasi. When you reach the temple you will be immediately struck by the beauty of it, for it is a spiritual and architectural masterpiece like all the other temples in Varanasi. But what makes the Durga Temple stand out in particular, is its striking red colour which is said to be the colour of Goddess Durga. You may also be surprised by the numerous monkeys in the temple vicinity, which have earned it the nickname of ‘monkey temple’. This temple is located on the banks of a huge rectangular tank known as the Durga Kund which is why it is also called the Durga Kund Mandir.
