Ratneshwar Mahadev Mandir

Ratneshwar Mahadev Mandir  is one of the most photographed temples in the holy city of Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, North India. The temple, while apparently well-preserved, leans significantly towards the back side (north-west), and its garbhagriha is generally below the water much of the year, except for a few months during the summer. 

 

The temple is elegantly constructed in the classical style with a nagara shikhara and phamsana mandapa. 

 

The upper part of temple was sightly damaged in 2016 due to heavy rainfall and lightening
