An imposing edifice with great acoustics inside. Best enjoyed if a live aarti is being performed when you visit.

The new Vishwanath temple is located on the BHU campuses.
This is one more attractions place for visitors, very peaceful environment and you can also tack a moment with college students very friendly and beautiful space for time pass.

Vranasi trip without this temple is just incomplete. The temple is heart of Varanasi . The temple offers to look at rich Indian culture and devotion.

Though well built architecturally , it belied my expectations . I had been there in the evening . It is located well within the BHU campus . There were several visitors to the temple . I saw quite a few wanting to use the sulabh souchalaya located outside ..the building was locked and dark ..and still the workers within the temple complex were guiding people there ..didnt they know it was non functional ?

You can take excellent photos here outside the temple. This is quite bigger than the other one. You can get an e-rickshaw to this temple for 10 rupees or a rickshaw for 20-30 rupees from BHU main gate. You can also get food, coffee, and tea outside the temple. The external surroundings is quite messy.

Situated inside the Benares Hindu University Campus, this beauty stands as a wonderful sight for everyone to see. Its sober colour with universal appeal and its unique architecture mesmerize the visitors. It is one of the must-see attractions in Varanasi.

is there any special Darshan system where we can buy the tickets or its the normal one single queue where everyone can get through and complete the darshan?

New Vishwanath temple is in Banaras Hindu University campus. There's no ticket to enter and proper arrangements to keep your footwear.This is free too.Of course, you can tip the caretakers if you want, not mandatory though.
Moreover, the darshans are easier. The temple is modern day architecture with statues of deities beautifully carved. The Panchmukhi Shivlinga is particulary one of the very unique, distinct feature of this temple.
Kashi Vishwanath temple takes you more time for the darshans and you got to keep your footwear in custody of any shopkeeper who would offer this service for free but in return would expect you to buy 'bhent/prasadam' or 'jalabhishek samagri'.
