      Video Of Somnath Temple Viral As Kashi Vishwanath After Renovation

      A video showing a temple bathed in lights is viral on social media with captions falsely claiming that the video shows the renovated look of Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.

      BOOM found that the temple seen in the viral video is not Kashi Vishwanath but Somnath temple located near Veraval, Gujarat.

      According to news reports, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Kashi Vishwanath Temple Corridor Project on December 13, 2021. A report published in The Hindu on November 12, 2021 said that the project will connect the temple with the ghats of river Ganga. The project comprises a paved walkway around 320 metres long and 20 metres wide. The video is viral in this backdrop.

      Bharatiya Janata Party MP Sudarshan Bhagat shared the video on his verified Facebook page with a Hindi caption translating to 'This is Varanasi's (Kashi) Vishwanath temple. This is what development looks like and this is why we say if Modi is there, it's possible'.
