Ratneshwar Mahadev Temple✓ Verified

Kashi's famous leaning temple near Manikarnika Ghat — submerged for much of the year.

Ratneshwar Mahadev is Varanasi's most photographed riverside temple, famous for its pronounced tilt of about nine degrees — a greater lean than the Tower of Pisa. Built low on the ghats, its sanctum stays submerged in the Ganga for much of the year and surfaces only in the dry months.
