| About Varanasi Tourism |
City of Light -
Kashi - holiest city of the Hindu faith and Lord Shiva's chosen
permanent home on earth. It is here that the holy Ganga flows in
reverential equanimity accepting the detritus of humanity in all its
myriad forms, its prayers, its sins, its tears, its dead -for that
final merging with the benevolence of the gods and liberation from
earth. Older than the western cities of Babylon and Nineveh, Kashi's beginnings were at the dawn of creation. Hindu
scriptures tell us that Kashi is the centre of the universe. It is here
that the mighty Lord Shiva reigns supreme in his earthly home...In
every stone is Shiva, tell you the throng of devotees pushing deeper in
the crowd for a brief glimpse of the first and most sacred of
Jyotirlingas in its tiny temple, before moving on. Shiva is worshipped
here as Lord Vishwanath. In the city of light brightened by the
effulgence of his beauty devotees |
