Everyone says, Banaras is my second home. And it seems so, because the environment, culture, music, art and especially the people are very close to my heart. Varanasi is one of the oldest inhabited cities not only in India but the world. You can refer it as “the city of temples”, “the holy city of India”, “the religious capital of India”, “the city of lights” or the “the city of learning”. It also has the finest rivers
“Benaras or Varanasi, other than the history, older than the tradition, older even than legend and looks twice as old as all of them put together”, was the thoughtful observation of the renowned English writer Mark Twain, who was very fond of Varanasi, its culture, tradition, cuisines and people.
This city and Ganges share a very special bond. No other pilgrimage shares that bond. From early morning to late night Ganga looks like the lifeline of this holy city. The ghats of Ganges are always full with countless people trying to understand the mystery of life.
The ghats of Ganges are remarkable places to see in Benaras. Benaras is a city of 87 ghats. These ghats or riverfront steps leading to the banks of river Ganga have equally revered place in the history. A sitting on these ghat gives immense peace and happiness. You can roam on the bank of Ganges and see different forms and shades of life happening everywhere. Moreover, you find numerous boats running in the holy water of the Ganga. These boats are the best way to see the life at the ghats of Benaras.
