Varanasi Temples

Lord Shiva was describing the various sacred Teerths (Ponds), Koop (Wells) and places of worship in Kashi.  Lord Shiva described such places with pleasure (Kashi Khand, Chapter 97).

Somewhere towards the east of Aadi Mahadev is Gopreksheshwar Ling.

(GOPREKSHESHWAR)

Devotees who worship Gopreksheshwar will derive benefit of Godaan (giving donation of a cow to a deserving person).
