"Admire India's rich art and cultural history."
Varanasi or Benaras situated on the banks of River Ganges in Uttar Pradesh is one of the most important Hindu pilgrimage centers. We can find references of this ancient city in the Vedas. Many temples sprawls throughout the length and breath of the city. The ghat in the city still carries that old world charm. Narrow lanes, crowded streets, people performing yagnas in the Ghats while taking a dip in the holy river, road side shops selling knick knacks are some of the characteristic feature of this city. The regions near the Ghats are extremely populated and house some of the renowned Hindu temples. Each of the Ghats here has a story behind it like Dasaswamedh Ghat is where Lord Brahma is supposed to have sacrificed 10 horses in a yajna.
