The supreme Jyotirlinga of Lord Shiva

Vishwanath Gali, near Godowlia

Stala Purana

The Vishwanath Jyotirlinga was installed when Lord Shiva chose Kashi as his eternal abode after the cosmos was created. The linga is self-manifested and bestows moksha upon all who worship it. Kashi itself rests atop Lord Shiva's trident, and the city is liberated from all earthly bonds.
