Kashi Vishwanath Corridor inauguration

The corridor, located near the iconic Dashashwamedh Ghat, has been completed in record time between the local administration and design firm led by architect Bimal Patel. The project conceptualised by PM Modi sought to ensure that properties clogging the corridor were removed in a litigation-free manner and existing heritage sites were preserved. The ₹800 crore project includes several gateways and structures leading to the temple, that have been built with stones and other materials using traditional craftsmanship. 

More than 40 ancient temples like Shri Gangeshwar Mahadev temple, Manokameshwar Mahadev temple, Jauvinayak temple, Shri Kumbha Mahadev temple have also been discovered on the way and preserved. The mega project is expected to boost tourism in the ancient city in a big way.
