PM Modi has revamped Varanasi entirely since he was first elected in 2014. As a leader from the BJP, he has been a forerunner in restoring our ancient sites to their spark.In a recent visit to Varanasi, PM Modi has given an auspicious gift to all the Hindus of the country. The revered first phase of Kashi Vishwanath Temple at Varanasi has been opened for devotees. It is a temple spread in 5,00,000 square feet, encompassing a capacity of 70,000 devotees daily. Moreover, the temple is near the river Ganga's banks, which is easily accessible from the ghats.Before the inauguration, a special prayer was held, where PM Modi, UP's CM Yogi Adityanath, and other people attended it.What Are the Facilities at New Temple?Before this temple, only a fraction of devotees could visit and worship Kashi Vishwanath daily due to the space constraint. But now, the building complex is expanded to 5,00,000 square feet, and it can accommodate many devotees at a single time.The complex is filled with facilities like suvidha kendras, bhogshala, galleries, museums, food courts, tourist facilitation centers, and more.What are The Costs Behind Building Such a Huge Temple?The Kashi Vishwanath Temple is unarguably a vast temple premise, and it is many folds bigger than the previous temple at this place. The government figures show that this modern temple was built at the cost of 339 crores. This also includes the cost of land acquisition in the surrounding areas.Around 300 houses and commercial spaces were purchased to clear up the land for this massive construction process. Moreover, all the residents have been paid, and they've moved to another place.
