Varanasi, also known as Kashi or Banaras, is the spiritual heart of India and one of the world’s oldest living cities. Nestled on the banks of the sacred River Ganga, it is famous for its ghats, temples, Ganga Aarti, and timeless traditions. A city where spirituality and culture flow together, Varanasi is believed to be the gateway to moksha (salvation) and a place where life and eternity meet.
