So close to Ganges!! Excellent place

Such a peaceful place in narrow lanes of Varanasi on the bank of holy Ganges. This is the place where exiled Pandavs offered prayer to Godess Aadishakti (Parvati) before Mahabharat Yaddha. Maa Shakti appeared here and blessed Pandavs for their victory. Everyone must visit this auspicious location to seek blessings of Devi as she is known to remove all obstacles, problems and pain of life thus called Sankatha. Along with Devi idols of Hanuman and Bhairav stood besides Devi's idol.
