About Kardmeshwar Temple
Kardameshwar Mahadev Temple stands as a rare survivor among Varanasi's temples, having endured the destructions of the Mughal period in the 17th century.

Constructed in the 10th century, it represents significant archaeological importance and is protected by the Government of Uttar Pradesh under the UP Ancient and Historical Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Preservation Act of 1956.
