Near the temple of Vishweshwar (Kashi Vishwanath Temple), and to the south of Sanichar, is a small shrine, dedicated to 'Shukreshwar’, which is visited by persons desirous of becoming parents of handsome sons. It is said that Shukra god will bestow a fine son on his worshippers, even though fate should not have conferred one on them and, so long as he lives in Benares, he will pass his time happily, and, at death, will depart to the realms of Lord Shiva i.e. ‘moksha’. Located in Vishwanath Gali in Varanasi, Shukreshwar temple is visited by the devotees mostly on Friday and Monday.
