According to officials, Yogi Adityanath first reached Shri Kashi Vishwanath Dham at 7 am and after seeking blessings, he visited Kashi Kotwal Kalbhairav Temple to offer his prayers.
The Chief Minister worshipped Baba Vishwanath through the 'Shodshopachar' method and prayed for the well-being of the people of Uttar Pradesh.
