Overview: Seek Wisdom and Remove Obstacles with Kashi’s Ashta Vinayak

The Ashta Vinayak Yatra in Kashi is a powerful spiritual journey across eight sacred temples of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the god of auspicious beginnings. Unlike the famous Ashta Vinayak circuit in Maharashtra, these temples in Varanasi carry their own ancient spiritual significance—deeply rooted in the sacred geography of the world's oldest city.

As per Kashi Khanda of Skanda Purana, visiting all eight Vinayak shrines in a single day with devotion grants liberation from material obstacles, karmic debt, and invokes success in all aspects of life.
