Varanasi

About Varanasi

Kashi is the oldest continuously inhabited pilgrimage city on earth. The Kashi Vishwanath Jyotirlinga sits at its spiritual centre; the Annapurna, Vishalakshi, Kaal Bhairav and Sankat Mochan temples form the other pillars of its ritual landscape. The Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat is the defining evening ritual.
