Home / Temples / Shringar Gauri Mandir
Devi TempleShringar Gauri is worshipped in more than one location in the old city — a deity associated with the area behind the Gyanvapi complex, where darshan is traditionally permitted only on specific days each year, as well as a separate image kept within the Vishwanath temple premises and worshipped there as part of the regular Nau Gauri sequence.
The Kashi Khand's Gauri Yatra instructs devotees to worship Sowbhagya Gauri first and then Shringar Gauri in sequence, with the fourth day of Chaitra Navaratri marked as her particular day in that nine-shrine circuit — placing her firmly within the same ritual framework as the other Gauris covered on this site.
A separate Shringar Gauri image, near the Bansphatak flower market close to the Satyanarayan temple, is worshipped by pilgrims who prefer that accessible location over the more restricted site, reflecting how devotion to a single named goddess in Kashi can be spread across more than one physical shrine.
In recent years, the shrine behind the Gyanvapi complex has also become widely known through news coverage of a legal dispute over worship rights at that specific site — a matter of ongoing litigation that sits alongside, but is distinct from, the goddess's older and continuing devotional role in the Nau Gauri Yatra described in the Kashi Khand.

No — Shringar Gauri is one of the traditional Nau Gauri shrines described in the Kashi Khand, worshipped at the Vishwanath temple premises as part of that pilgrimage; a separate, long-standing image near Bansphatak is also worshipped under the same name, independent of the site behind Gyanvapi that has drawn recent legal attention.
