The Durga Mandir (Temple) is situated in Ramnagar of Banaras (or Varanasi).[1] It is believed that it was built 500 years ago which is under control of royal family of Banaras State currently. This temple is devoted to Hindu deity Durga. The temple has a large stone built pond with it. The Durga Mandir boasts of its fine stone works, which is a fabulous example of north Indian stone work arts.
There is another Durga temple, within the Varanasi city, built in the 18th century overlooking a pond known as Durga Kund.[2]
