Shri Brihaspati Temple Varanasi

Kashi is the city of Gods where 33 thousand crore Gods and Goddesses reside and along with all this, Lord Brihaspati, the Guru of the Gods. This Guru Brihaspati temple in Moksha Nagri Kashi has mythological belief. From time immemorial, Dev Guru automatically resides in this living temple. There is a belief about this very ancient temple that when Baba Bhole made Kashi his capital, even the gods from the world were eager to come and reside in the city of salvation, Kashi. Everyone asked Baba Bhole’s permission to sit and remained so. But when Brihaspati, the Guru of the Gods, reached Kashi and expressed his desire to reside in Kashi to Baba Vishwanath, Shiva honored him as Guru and gave him the highest place on a high hill near his compound so that he could have daily darshan of Vishwanath himself and the gods who came here. Planets and constellations can be seen. In the month of Sawan, there is a huge crowd of devotees in this very ancient Jupiter temple. Not only this, the Kavaris also consider their Saavan journey complete by visiting here on the Thursday day of Saavan. Apart from this, thousands of devotees come here every day. The religious belief of this temple is that Dev Guru Brihaspati is the best planet among the nine planets and he is the god of wealth, auspiciousness and intelligence. For this reason, yellow color is used for everything from their adornment to their offerings.
