The Durga temple, also called the Monkey Temple because of the large number of monkeys there, is located in Varanasi's Durga Kund.

This temple is dedicated to the goddess Durga. In the seventeenth century, it was built. A Bengali Maharani built the Durga temple with a multi-tiered shikhara in the traditional north Indian architecture. The temple's magnificence is enhanced by the construction of the Durga Kund, a stunning pond on the right side. The pond is surrounded by stone steps on all sides, and there are guard posts at each corner.

The Goddess Durga statue materialized in the temple by itself; it was not made by people. Millions of Hindu devotees gather during Navratri and other auspicious festivals to perform throngs to the Durga temple to offer prayers to the goddess in hopes of having their wishes granted. The red stones used in the construction of this temple, which is shaped like a square, stand in for Mata Durga's color. Because of their holy status in Hinduism, some devotees build a circle around the temple structure. Varanasi is believed to be shielded from all issues by Durga Mata.
