The Vishwanath temple, or Golden Temple, is the most sacred temple in Varanasi and is dedicated to Vishveswara-Shiva as lord of the universe.The original temple was destroyed by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, and the present temple was later restored by Rani Ahilyabai of Indore in the 18th century. 800kg of gold plating on the towers, which gives the temple its colloquial name, was provided by Maharaja Ranjit Singh of Lahore some 50 years later.
