About Varanasi - The Spiritual Capital of India
Varanasi does not aim to dazzle you. It exists and has been around for centuries, is full of spirituality, and at its own beat has been existing for a long time.
It is believed that Varanasi is among the oldest cities to still be occupied today due to its long-standing settlement history from prehistoric periods up until present-day. Each day, before the sun rises, priests will be calling out to the people in the Ganges, and on average, thousands of people enter the river each day. There are very large amounts of worshipers who will be coming to visit this temple and hope to get the blessings of God (Shiva) as they come here. Every tour group that is visiting Varanasi will have a visit to the Kashi Temple included in the group tour itinerary.
When night falls, the energy of the town shifts to Dashashwamedh Ghat, where Ganga Aarti or daily worship of the Ganges River - is performed. This ceremony consists of synchronized rituals performed with illuminating oil lamps, the musical recitation of religious man's hymns, and the reflection of the fire that burns in air, creating sufficient lighting for the water, which makes for an unforgettable experience of sight and sound. The impact of the Ganga Aarti emotional experience will profoundly enhance your relationship with your inner self and provide you with more than what can be experienced visually.
Besides being an all-around fantastic time spent exploring the thousands of temples and rituals, Varanasi is one of the most colorful cities in India, with its narrow streets lined up with silk sari shops, small restaurants, confectionery shops, and buildings that are hundreds of years old! The aroma created by burning incense sticks at vendors along the streets and the scents from the multitude of different styles of cooking create an incredible atmosphere for all who come to Varanasi.
If you come to Varanasi for spiritual purposes or for discovering your ancestry or culture, the value you will receive will extend well beyond simply viewing such sites! The impact it leaves will result in you feeling calm, contemplative, and connected.
