Varanasi, also known as Benares, Banaras, or Kashi, is a sacred place for Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains. It is situated on the banks of the Ganges and it is one of the most visited pilgrimages for Hindus, who come to bathe in the holy river. Touted as one of the holiest cities in India, this place has so much in store for all age groups. Varanasi is known for its religious significance, architecture, and art which has been preserved year long. This city comprises loads of temples and ghats that host unceasing lines of pilgrims from every corner of the world.
Dashashwamedh Ghat is considered to be one of the most iconic ghats of Varanasi as it is believed that Lord Brahma created this ghat by sacrificing ten horses. If you are visiting Varanasi, you have to come here to witness the famous Ganga aarti by the sunset. It is such a surreal and peaceful experience. If you want to sit back and relax while enjoying this amazing view, you can also dine at any of the rooftop restaurants near the ghat. Taking a Gange's boat ride is a must-try here.
Known as the City of Temples, Varanasi's Durga Temple is a significant one. It is dedicated to Goddess Durga and symbolizes feminine divinity. It is believed that the Deity present in this temple has appeared on its own and that it was not human-made. This temple is often known as the ‘Monkey Temple’ owing to the fact that it has a huge number of monkeys visiting the complex. Durga Temple was commissioned by the Queen of Bengal and it was her idea to construct it in the Nagara style of architecture. During Navratri, this place has a different vibe altogether.
New Vishwanath Temple, located inside Benaras Hindu University, is the biggest attraction in this region. This temple was commissioned by the Birla family, a highly successful group of entrepreneurs in India. There are seven buildings that together form one big religious complex. The temple was inspired by the Kashi Vishwanath Temple and has Lord Krishna’s recitation of the Bhagwad Gita carved on every wall. This temple also comprises 9 shrines including shrines for Shiva, Durga, Lakshmi, Narayan, Hanuman, Saraswati, Ganesh, and others.
Located across the Ganga river from Tulsi Ghat, Ramnagar Fort is built out of sandstone and is the perfect place to witness many royal palaces, halls, towers, reception rooms, and many more. This fort was constructed in the Mughal architectural style. The place comprises the Veda Vyasa Temple, the king’s living quarters, and a museum dedicated to regional history. Ram Lila festival is a popular celebration where the locals get to see the royal antiques and weapons. The king also visits the Fort on a decorated elephant, during the festival.
