Historians say

Mahakaleshwar Temple is Kashi's pratikriti (replica) of the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga and shrine 3 of 12 in the Dwadash Jyotirlinga yatra of Kashi listed by UP Tourism's Pawan Path. Kashi Vishwanath is the only one of the twelve original Jyotirlingas in Varanasi; the other shrines in this yatra are replicas. Address given in Hindi news reports as 52/3, Daranagar (Mahamrityunjay complex); a 2024 research team disputes some of these locations, so confirm on site.
