Varanasi, also known as Benaras or Kashi, sits on the banks of the River Ganges in Uttar Pradesh, India. Widely recognized for being one of the world’s oldest holy cities, Varanasi is the junction where the holy rivers of Ganga and Yamuna meet. This city has also been named by UNESCO as the City of Music. Varanasi is home to about 23000 temples, mostly of Lord Shiva, such as Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple. This earns the city another name - the city of Lord Shiva. There are also over 80 ghats (riverfront steps leading to riverbanks) across the city, each with a storied past. Dashashwamedh Ghat, Manikarnika Ghat, and Scindia Ghat are just a few that you could add to your itinerary. Of course, the city’s festivities are also a draw among discerning travelers, with Holi, the Hindu festival of colors, being a particularly big deal. The city is also known for its Gangaa Aarti, where the River Ganges is ritualistically worshipped, often described as an unrivaled spectacle for tourists and pilgrims.
With alluring ghats, elaborate rituals, and vibrant religious festivals, Varanasi is a cultural paradise perfect for a spiritual holiday. Find out the best hotels to stay in Varanasi, India, below!
