Best Places In Varanasi
Varanasi: An Ancient City On The Earth
Dashashwamedh Ghat
The best way to explain Varanasi in one word would be ‘sacred’. The city is one of the colorful and ritual based destinations on the face of earth. This is one of the oldest inhabited cities, which is still in use. Hindus believe that the city was built and lived by the divinity, himself. The river, which flows through Varanasi is called River Ganges
Assi Ghat
Located on the farther southern side of the river, this ghat is specifically chosen by tourists to worship Lord Shiva. Thus, it goes without saying that this ghat becomes very grand during any festival pertaining to Lord Shiva.
Manikarnika Ghat
Not everyone will consider this as a tourist spot. This is the cremation ground for Hindus. You can always spot glowing pyres in this region. Many earthen oil lamps will be left to flow on the river, as an offering.
