Varanasi, once known as Banaras and Kashi, is a historical city in northern India. It is considered one among the 7 oldest cities in India and is renowned all over the world for ancient temples mostly dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is also renowned for the old ghats and the worship be of the river Ganges.
The town is sacred to Hindus and Jains and also one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, with settlements dating back to the 11th century BC. Many Hindus believe that dying in Varanasi brings salvation/nirvana and so they make the trip to the city when they realize that they are close to death. For some, the culture shock of the burning corpses in plain view can be a bit overwhelming. However, the scene of pilgrims doing their devotions in the River Ganga at sunrise set against the backdrop of the centuries-old temples is probably one of the most impressive sights in the world.
The city can be scorchingly hot in the summer months so, if possible, time your visit to fall between October and March, and bring something warm to wear for chilly days and nights.
