Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 19 (ANI): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath offered prayers at the Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi on Monday evening.

The CM offered prayers at the temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, offering flowers and milk to the'Shivling'. Before offering prayers at the temple, CM Adityanath inaugurated the Shri Kashi Vishwanath Dham Arogya Centre, which came up next to Gate No 4, the main entrance to Kashi Vishwanath Dham.

After inaugurating the facility, the CM was heard enquiring about the amenities on offer at the health centre by the officials present there.
