Overview
Varanasi, also known as Kashi or Benares, is one of the oldest and most spiritual cities in India. It holds immense cultural, religious, and historical significance. Located on the banks of the Ganges River, Varanasi is considered one of the holiest cities in Hinduism, as it is believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva.
The city is famous for its ghats, which are steps leading down to the river where pilgrims perform rituals, take holy dips, and offer prayers. The Ganga Aarti, a daily ritual of worship to the river, is a mesmerizing experience for visitors. The narrow lanes of Varanasi are lined with ancient temples, bustling markets, and vibrant street life, offering a unique blend of spirituality and culture.
