Aditya (Sun) Temple

Khakholka Aditya Mandir

Khakholka is one of the less-visited names among Kashi's twelve traditional Aditya shrines, known mainly to pilgrims deliberately completing the full sun-temple circuit described in the Kashi Khand.

Specific detail on this particular shrine is thinner than for better-known stops like Lolark Kund, which is typical of several entries in the twelve-shrine set — not every Aditya temple has the same visibility or footfall.

It's generally visited as one stop within a guided circuit of all twelve sun shrines rather than sought out independently, and a local priest or guide is the most reliable way to find it within the old city's lanes.

If sun worship and the Kashi Khand tradition specifically interest you, ask a local pandit to walk you through the full twelve-shrine route rather than attempting to find each individually.
