Varanasi

Varanasi, also known as Kashi or Banaras, is one of the oldest living cities in the world and the spiritual heart of India. Located on the banks of the holy River Ganga, it is believed that a visit to Varanasi helps attain moksha (liberation). The city is famous for the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, sacred ghats, and the powerful Ganga Aarti performed every evening. Varanasi is also an important center for Hindu rituals, yoga, meditation, and spiritual learning. Its narrow lanes, ancient temples, classical music, silk sarees, and rich culture make it a unique spiritual destination.
