Yes. Kasi Vishwanath Temple. So, it is in Varanasi. Is that the temple has Ganga? How far is that temple from Chennai?
Is it best to commute from Chennai or Madurai or some other city?

Varanasi...initially known as Banaras...is in Uttar Pradesh state of India. Tamil Nadu is in the vey South of India whereas Varanasi is in the Northern Part of India...The rough distance between to place will be >2100km.

Kashi Viswanath Temple is very near to the banks of River Ganga and is considered to be one of the oldest and sacred place for Hindus.

U may catch Kashi Vishwanath Express (Train) from New Delhi which starts at 1330hrs and reaches Varanasi at around 0600hrs next day.

I hope this information will be useful.
