Ashta Vinayak Yatra

The Ashta Vinayak Yatra in Kashi is a spiritually significant pilgrimage dedicated to the eight powerful forms of Lord Ganesha, the remover of all obstacles. While the Ashta Vinayak Yatra of Maharashtra is well-known, the one in Kashi holds a unique place in Sanatan Dharma, deeply rooted in the sacred geography of Varanasi.

Each temple in this yatra holds ancient, potent energy, and most of them are hidden deep in the alleys of Kashi, away from the tourist trail. The circuit includes darshan of:

• Siddhi Vinayak – grants success and wisdom
• Dundi Vinayak – guardian of Kashi Vishwanath
• Dhundiraj Vinayak – removes ignorance and fear
• Avimukteshwar Vinayak – spiritual eternal presence
• Vinayakeshwar Vinayak – invoked during Ganga puja
• Kapardeeshwar Vinayak – burns karmic baggage
• Ekadanta Vinayak – focus and discipline
• Harhar Vinayak – strength and courage

This yatra is often performed before new ventures, exams, marriage, or housewarming ceremonies. It is believed that visiting all eight Vinayak temples in one go cleanses the mind, grants clarity, and removes the spiritual blocks that limit growth.

Whether you are beginning a new path or wish to reconnect with divine wisdom, the Ashta Vinayak Yatra in Kashi is a divine fresh start.
