Discovering the Spiritual Heart of Varanasi
The Ancient City of Light
Varanasi, also known as Kashi or Banaras, is one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities. For over 3,000 years, this sacred city has been a center of learning, spirituality, and culture.
The Sacred Ghats
The city's 84 ghats (steps leading down to the river) are the heart of Varanasi's spiritual life. Each ghat has its own significance and story, from the famous Dashashwamedh Ghat where the evening Ganga Aarti takes place, to the Manikarnika Ghat, one of the holiest cremation grounds in India.
Temples and Traditions
Varanasi is home to thousands of temples, each with its own unique history and significance. The Kashi Vishwanath Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is one of the most revered temples in India.
