As soon as the new year of the Hindu calendar begins, there is a rush of devotees in temples across the country. Due to Chaitra Navratri, people are coming to many temples every day to have darshan of Mata. But do you know about a temple which is open only one day throughout the year for darshan of the goddess. Let us know about that holy place.

Although there are many such religious places in the temple city of Varanasi which have special recognition, but there is also one such religious place where common people and devotees get the opportunity to visit and worship only one day in the whole year. Yes, the darshan of Maa Shringar Gauri located in Shri Kashi Vishwanath Dham complex of Varanasi is available only on the Chaturthi of Chaitra Navratri. Due to security reasons, devotees cannot visit there every day.

Devotees arrived in large numbers singing bhajan.

Although devotees can reach all the religious places of Varanasi at any time for darshan and worship, but due to security reasons, devotees get the opportunity only on the Chaturthi of Chaitra Navratri to have darshan of Maa Shringar Gauri located in the premises of Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple.

This time on Sunday, the devotees got this opportunity and not only the Hindu organizations but also the common people came to have darshan with full enthusiasm, singing bhajans and remembering the Mother Goddess. This time more crowd of people was seen as compared to last year. The worship was done by the sages and saints as per the rituals. After this, people prayed to Maa Shringar Gauri for the prosperity of Kashi and progress of the country.
