Welcome to Kashi – The Oldest Living City

Varanasi, also known as Kashi or Banaras, is not just a city — it's a soul-stirring experience. Nestled on the banks of the sacred River Ganga, Varanasi is considered the spiritual capital of India, drawing pilgrims, yogis, seekers, and curious travelers from around the world.

Whether you seek moksha (liberation), want to perform rituals, or simply want to immerse yourself in the culture and chaos, Varanasi has something divine to offer.

1. The Ghats of Varanasi – Life & Death on the Ganges

The city’s iconic ghats (riverfront steps) are the heart of its daily life. With over 80 ghats, each one has a unique spiritual and cultural significance.

Must-Visit Ghats:

• Dashashwamedh Ghat: Famous for the evening Ganga Aarti.
  
• Manikarnika Ghat: The main cremation ghat, symbolizing the cycle of life and death.
• Assi Ghat: A quieter place perfect for sunrise meditation and yoga.

2. Temples that Echo Divinity

Varanasi is home to thousands of temples, each resonating with centuries of devotion. From narrow lanes to bustling courtyards, temple bells never stop ringing

Famous Temples to Visit:

• Kashi Vishwanath Temple – One of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva.
  
• Annapurna Devi Mandir – Goddess of nourishment and devotion.
• Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple – Famous for relief from troubles.
• Durga Kund Temple – Red-hued temple dedicated to Goddess Durga.

3. Ganga Aarti – A Symphony of Devotion

Each evening, Dashashwamedh Ghat transforms into a divine stage. The Ganga Aarti is a choreographed spiritual ritual performed by priests with lamps, incense, chants, and conch shells — a spectacle that mesmerizes both heart and soul.

Best time: 6:30 PM – 7:00 PM
Don't miss: Evening boat ride during Aarti for the best view.
