गुप्तकाशी के विश्वनाथ मंदिर के आगे लगा एक साइन बोर्ड लोगों का ध्यान आकृषित कर रहा हैं। बोर्ड पर लिखा है कि मंदिर में गैर हिंदुओं का प्रवेश वर्जित हैं। आपको बता दें कि, कुछ दिन पूर्व मंदिर में संपन्न हुए अन्नकूट मेले के दौरान गैर हिंदुओं का मेले में आकर टीका लगाने के लिए मना करने के बाद स्थानीय लोगों की ओर से ऐसे गैर हिंदू समाज के लोगों का बहिष्कार किया जा रहा है। जो मंदिर में आकर घंटों बैठे रहते हैं, लेकिन टीका लगाने से मना कर देते हैं।

शिव की नगरी काशी में गंगा तट पर स्थित काशी विश्वनाथ मंदिर शिव के बारह ज्योतिर्लिंगों में से एक है। प्राचीन काशी विश्वनाथ मंदिर में भी गैर-हिंदूओं को जाने से रोका जाता है हालांकि इस मंदिर में कई बार गैर-हिंदूओं को दर्शन करने की अनुमति दी गई है लेकिन मंदिर के अंदर उत्तरी दिशा में स्थित ज्ञान कुपोर कुएं के आस-पास किसी भी गैर-हिंदू को जाने की अनुमति नहीं है। दरअसल यह स्थान मंदिर के पवित्र क्षेत्रों में से एक है, जहां केवल हिंदूओं को आने की इजाजत है ।
