Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said here that the ancient Kashi Vishwanath temple will now be known as 'Kashi Vishwanatha Dham' and will become the center of inspiration in the form of a 'model' for the other temples of the country. Addressing the foundation stone of the Ambitious corridor construction project going on the Ganga coast after worshiping the temple, Modi said that after nearly 250 years, he has received good fortune to expand the temple today. Prior to Ahilya Bai's efforts, the temple was expanded.

He said that during the work of expanding, about 40 paranormal temples were detected, which were shelved from the houses. In the coming time, the government will beautify all these temples. The Prime Minister said that in 2014 the work that the Ganga called for him here was fulfilled today. For this, they consider themselves fortunate enough. He has appealed to Kashi Hindu University to do research work on this work of expanding the temple enclosure. Research can help in the expansion work of other temples of the country.
