Shri Varun Dev Mandir is a Hindu Temple located in Manora Island in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. According to Hindu mythology, Varuna is the god of the oceans[1]. The exact year of the construction or foundation of this temple is not known (may be thousands of years old[2]) but it is widely believed that current structure of this temple was build some where around 1917-18[3]. Today this temple is in a dilapidated state as humid winds are eating into the structure and the rich carvings on the walls of the temple are slowly eroding. At present, the building of this temple is not used for worship and the last ritual was held in the 1950s[4].
