The '''Amethi Temple''' (also '''Amethy Temple''' and '''Amethi Shiva Durga Temple''') is a 19th-century [[Hindu temple]] located above [[Manikarnika Ghat]] on the banks of the [[Ganges]] in [[Varanasi]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], India. It is dedicated to the goddess [[Bala Tripurasundari]], and is locally known as the Amethi Temple, named after its royal patron, Raja Lal Madho Singh of [[Amethi Estate|Amethi]], who ruled from 1842 to 1891. The temple is also been noted for its architectural importance.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Shin |first1=Heeryoon |title=The Amethi Temple in Banaras: Architectural Encounters at a Pilgrimage Center |url=https://www.journal18.org/issue11/the-amethi-temple-in-banaras-architectural-encounters-at-a-pilgrimage-center/ |publisher=Journal18}}</ref> It is also called Amethi Shiva-Durga Temple.<ref name=shiva/><ref>{{cite web |title=Amethi Shiva Temple, Manikarnika Ghat |url=https://jnanapravaha.org/explore-varanasi-detail?gal_id=16 |publisher=Jnana-Pravaha}}</ref><br />

== History ==<br />
The temple was first constructed in 1842, the same year Raja Lal Madho Singh became the ruler of [[Amethi Estate|Amethi]], then a township in [[Sultanpur district]] in the [[Awadh]] province. Shortly after its completion, the temple was destroyed by fire. It was reconstructed in 1854, at a cost of one lakh rupees, which made it one of the most expensive religious projects undertaken by Raja Madho Singh.<ref>{{cite book |author1=Swatantra Bahadur |title=INDIAN'S HERITAGE OF KASHI "VARANASI" "Varanasi: Unveiling the Timeless Tapestry of India's Spiritual Heart |publisher=Bookwisehub |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tljaEAAAQBAJ&dq=amethi+temple+varanasi&pg=PT71}}</ref><ref name=shiva>{{cite news |last1=Singh |first1=Rana P.B. |title=Shiva-Durga Temple of Amethy |url=https://culturalheritageofvaranasi.com/notable_temples/shiva-durga-temple-of-amethy/ |publisher=Culturalheritageofvaranasi.com}}</ref><br />
