Local Attractions

Varanasi is a magnificent city rising from the western bank of River Ganga. People call it Kashi - the luminous, City of Light. The temples and shrines, ashrams and pavilions that stretch along the river for over three miles are golden in the early morning. Long flight of steps called Ghats bring thousands of worshipers down to the river to bathe at dawn. In the narrow lanes at the top of these steps moves the unceasing earthly drama of life and death, which the Hindus call Samsara, but here from the perspective of the Ganga River, there is a vision of the transcendence and liberation, which the Hindus call Moksha.
