Five Jyotirlinga Temples Across India Where Shiva's Presence Still Stops You Cold

Kashi Vishwanath, Varanasi

You will smell the marigolds before you see the spire. Kashi Vishwanath sits inside the old city's warren of lanes so narrow that two people with bags cannot pass each other without turning sideways, and by the time you reach the sanctum you have already been jostled, blessed, and slightly overwhelmed. That is not incidental. That is the design.
