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
