sites and also a major tourist attraction. It has been the
religious capital of Hinduism since time immemorial. Situated on the banks
of the sacred Ganges, Varanasi has been a center of
learning and civilization for more than 2,000 years. Written records of
the Skanda Purana and the Mahabharata mention its existence as long as
3,000 years ago. It is probably the oldest living city in India, and one
of the world's most ancient. As a place of devotion and worship, Varanasi
attracts thousands of pilgrims every year. Many Hindus in the latter part
of their lives wish to spend their retirement here. The mythological name
of the city was Kashi, meaning light or luminescence, and the city indeed
illuminates with a spiritual light. Two rivers, the Varuna and the Assi,
meet the holy Ganges River at the northern and southern tips of the city.
In medieval times and until as recently as the mid-20th century, the city
was known as Banares. Varanasi seems to have been the result of putting
together the names of the rivers Varuna and Assi. This religious city is
crowded with temples, and its labyrinth of streets swells with throngs of
people. Varanasi is a city that cannot be described--only experienced.

Early in the morning, enjoy a boat ride on the holy river
Ganges, which presents an incredible scene as multitudes of

as seen from a boat at sunrise, is a spiritually uplifting sight.
Hinduism, deep and mystical, is everywhere: in a decorated doorway; in a
glimpse of a glittering temple; in the sound of a sacred bell; in the
chant of the priests; and in the fragrance of flower oblations. Pass the
bathing ghats where thousands of pilgrims immerse themselves in the holy
water of the Ganges and the burning ghats where cremations are conducted.
