Varanasi is a must-see pilgrim city in India. With strong conviction I would say that Varanasi is the city of enlightenment and a must-see atmospheric city in India. Also called Banaras or Kashi is the spiritual capital and one of the oldest cities of India.
Travel to Varanasi is a lot more than just another holy place to visit. A trip to Varanasi is only complete after you witness the Ganga aarti performed by the priests at the Dashashwamedh Ghat. You will smell the fragrance of the incense sticks, hear the rhythm of the conch shells, and also the moving brass lamps that fill the ambiance. An amazing sight with the best blend of faith and spirituality can be witnessed. The sacred Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple is a place where crowds throng to express their faith and devotion to the Lords Rama and Hanuman.
The death rituals performed at Manikarnika Ghat and Harishchandra Ghat are a life-changing experience with flames of the funeral pyre that keep burning continuously 24/7. For a perfect balance between ancient and modern civilization, the city offers a wide variety of culinary delights right from sipping tea in the small earthen teapots called the Varanasi Kulhar Chai to the to betel-leaf concoction or Banarasi Paan.
