Overview
Varanasi, also known as Kashi or Banaras, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and is considered the holiest city in Hinduism. Situated on the banks of the sacred River Ganga, it is believed that a visit to Varanasi grants liberation (Moksha) from the cycle of birth and death.
The city is most famous for its ghats, where thousands of pilgrims take a holy dip in the Ganga every day. The mesmerizing Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat is a spiritual spectacle that leaves every visitor enchanted.
Varanasi is also home to the sacred Kashi Vishwanath Temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas dedicated to Lord Shiva, attracting devotees from across the globe. The lanes of Varanasi are filled with countless temples, shrines, and vibrant bazaars that reflect the essence of Indian spirituality and culture.
Apart from its spiritual significance, Varanasi is also a hub of art, music, and learning. It is the birthplace of classical music legends and is world-renowned for Banarasi silk sarees, delicious street food, and cultural richness.
Boat rides at sunrise on the Ganga River, witnessing cremation rituals at Manikarnika Ghat, exploring ancient temples, and visiting nearby sites like Sarnath, make the Varanasi experience even more profound.
