It was the stormy heavy raining night of 1777 A.D. Rani Ahilyabai of Indore was sleeping in her room. She was a great devotee of Lord SHIVA. It was just on the verge of dawn after midnight, Rani Ahilyabai saw a strange dream. She saw Lord SHIVA is standing in front of her…very calm and quite …not as Rudramurthy but as SATYAM SHIVAM SUNDARM pose (not in the form of God of destruction but as a saver of the universe). God said to her "you are a great devotee of me and so I want to give you one responsibility.    I’m always staying in Varanasi beside the bank of the Holiest river Ganga, as Lord Viswanath - the  most auspicious part of my twelve ‘Jyotirlings’ in India . I was living there in holy ‘Gyanvapi’ temple. People worshiped me with a great devotion. But some greedy culprits destroyed my holy temple. For the sake of my all devotees let you build another Temple for me beside the same place so that people can worship me again with a great devotion. Go and take bath in the holy river ‘Narmada’. There you will get one SHIVLING from the bed of the river. Establish that SHIVLING into the new temple. This very temple will be famous as KASHI VISHWANATH TEMPLE.  ". After this Rani Ahilyabai woke up and made up her mind that she would do everything as she saw in the dream…it couldn’t be a mere dream, it must have been an instruction came from the God Shiva himself. After some days Rani Ahilyabai came to the bank of the river Narmada and took bath at the particular place as she saw in the dream. She deep down into the river 1,2,3 but could not get anything. She went two steps forward and deep down again and suddenly touched one solid rock, black in colour and the structure is like a SHIVLING. She hold it firmly and touched it on her head. According to the Bengali calendar on 1184, 8^th Bhadra (some time in 1777 A.D.), Monday, Rani Ahilyabai founded the new Viswanath Temple Kashi (Varanasi).

Viswanath Temple of Kashi (Varanasi) is very famous and very auspicious temple to all Hindus. This is Jyotirling Shiva.  It is popularly known as the Kashi golden Temple due the Gold plating dome on its 15.5 meter high spire. One ton of gold donated by Maharaja Ranjit Singh has been used in the gold plating of the spire. The temple was destroyed in the various invasions and was rebuilt in 1777 by Rani Ahilyabai of Indore. It is said that the person who offer Puja to Lord Shiva with 'Bel Pallab' ( the sacred Wood-apple leaves ), all his desires get fulfilled. The person who have lost everything of his/ her mental peace (Shanti), gets back everything with the blessings of Lord Shiva. He (Lord Shiva) is open handed to all ...very very kind hearted ...gives you everything which is beneficial for you. It's said that People never come back with empty hands from Viswanath Temple after offering Puja to Lord Shiva.
