Named thus as the two rivers- Varuna and Assi, mark the boundaries of Kashi, the ancient city of Shiva. This is one of the oldest living cities in the world and its prominence in Hindu mythology is virtually unrivalled. Mark Twain, travelling through India visited here and said `Benaras is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend and looks twice as old as all of them put together!!” Varanasi offers a breath-taking experience; the rays of the dawn shimmering across the Ganga River – the high banks, the temples, shrines and ashrams along the banks. This city is also a centre of music (classical) and famous for its silk brocade.

The principal attraction of the Holy City is the string of Ghats that line the western banks of the Ganges River. Most of these ghats are used for bathing and to offer prayers to the holy Ganges, two of them are also used as ‘burning ghats’ where Hindus are cremated. Being the city of Shiva, the Hindus believe that dying here means you achieve Moksh, or freedom from rebirth in an instant.
