Getting there

Walking

If you are starting from Dashashwamedh Ghat, walk towards the main road (Ramnagar Road). Continue straight until you reach the traffic circle. From the traffic circle, take the left road that leads into Lahori Tola. Follow this road for about 1 kilometer, and you will see the Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple on your right side. The temple is located at Lahori Tola, Domari, Uttar Pradesh 221001.

Rickshaw

From your location in Varanasi, find a cycle rickshaw or auto-rickshaw. Tell the driver to take you to 'Kashi Vishwanath Temple' or simply 'Lahori Tola.' The ride should take approximately 10-15 minutes depending on traffic. The rickshaw will drop you at the nearest point to the temple, from which you may need to walk a short distance to reach the temple entrance.

Local Bus

If you prefer to use public transportation, find the nearest bus stop and take a local bus heading towards 'Lahori Tola' or any that mentions 'Kashi Vishwanath Temple' in its route. Once you arrive at the Lahori Tola bus stop, walk towards the temple, which should be a short distance away, visible from the main road.
