Things to do in Varanasi, Kashi or Benaras – what’s in a name?

Uttar Pradesh

Last Updated on: Jan 26, 2019  

Within hours Kashi ,  Varanasi or Benaras grew on us. As we roamed aimlessly around the ghats of Varanasi, we could connect with this ancient city. The first impression of Varanasi can be quite overwhelming. The city, that is said to be even older than history is chaotic, confusing and in a state of pandemonium. We were greeted by a cacophony of various sounds and for a moment we rolled our eyes and thought, “why another crowded place”. Didn’t we have had enough of them. But we found that there are so many things to do in Varanasi and gradually, we fell in love with the ‘chaotic, crowded, dirty’, but an endearing Kashi.

The first impression that I have of the city was when I visited Varanasi during my childhood. We lovingly called the place Benaras. My memory fails when I try to recollect those experiences. Then I read ‘ Joy Baba Felunath ’ by Satyajit Ray and I wanted to come back to Benaras again to trace the path the iconic detective character had taken! (For the uninitiated, I am talking about Feluda, the suave Bengali detective who holds a dear place in almost all Bengali’s hearts).

So we traced the narrow alleys of Vishwanath Gali , we totally embraced the colour, sound and odour of the place. As we watched the corpse being burnt on funeral pyres, we could understand how ephemeral life could be. As we watched the many people performing the last rites of their loved ones at the ghats, little boys getting their head shaved for the first time, we realized that faith is unquestioning belief. We are happy that we experienced the city of light, not just visited it! And so we decided to write a comprehensive Varanasi Travel Guide that might help you with your visit to this ancient city.

Kashi, Varanasi or Benaras – what’s in a name?

According to Shakespeare, what’s in a name? In whatever name we call Varanasi, the place will remain as spiritual and charming as it is. Interestingly, the city has got all the three names and each has its own significance. So what do the names represent?

Kashi or Kāśi

It is of no surprise that Mark Twain had said Benaras or Varanasi to be older than history, older than legend . The spiritual capital of India, Varanasi has been referred to as Kashi (Kāśi) in Rig Veda , one of the most ancient Hindu sacred texts. Kashi is derived from the words Kaś that means ‘to shine’ . Kashi is thus also known as the ‘city of light’ . Perhaps, the city was the spiritual guide, the beacon to lost souls looking for enlightenment. Kashi was also known as Avimuktaka (never forsaken by Shiva), Rudravasa (the place where Shiva resides), Anandakanana, Mahasmasana, Surandhana, Brahma Vardha, Sudarsana and Ramya in various religious texts.

The name Varanasi came from the two river tributaries of Ganga that border the city. Varuna flows in the northern part and Assi flows in the southern part near the Assi Ghat.

Benaras or Banaras

Benaras is probably the modified or corrupted version of Varanasi. Some blame it on the colonizers who had changed the name to suit their accent.

Kashi is believed to be the ‘original ground’ created by Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.

And there are many more legends, myths and stories spun around the city of light. Varanasi is the microcosm of Hinduism, the holiest pilgrimage sanctified by the religious scriptures. That is why perhaps Hindus want to visit Kashi once in their lifetime. But, religion apart, Kashi does have the ability to change you spiritually.

History of Varanasi (Kashi)

Varanasi has found mention time and again in Indian epics Ramayana and Mahabharata as well as Buddhists Jataka tales. Varanasi was the seat of Aryan civilization during the 2 nd millennium BCE and was an important centre for trade and commerce. Varanasi was the capital of the kingdom of Kashi during 6 th century BCE. Lord Buddha preached his first sermon at Sarnath, merely 10 km from Varanasi. The famous Chinese traveller Xuanzang, who visited Varanasi during 635 BCE, substantiated the glory and prosperity of Varanasi.

The prosperity of Varanasi declined during the Mughal rule, but was again revived by the Marathas. Under the British rule, it remained as a religious and commercial centre. The eventful history of the city can be seen at the various ghats of Varanasi.

What are the things to do in Varanasi?

If I have already bored you with too much history, let us travel back to the present. We stayed for 3 days in Varanasi and completely fell in love with the city. We explored the narrow lanes and alleys, enjoyed the kaleidoscope of colours, savoured the gastronomical trails and sought spirituality in the ghats of Varanasi. Here is our list of things to do in Varanasi. I am sure there are many and you can also discover your own delights.

Visit the Ghats of Varanasi

There are more than 70 ghats in Varanasi! The Ghats are the riverfront steps leading to the banks of the River Ganga. But Varanasi ghats are not just any other ghats. They are history in itself. The huge structures by the ghats tell you a lot about the story of the place.

The Dasaswamedh Ghat is the most important and famous one at Varanasi. Obviously, it is the busiest and you will always see a lot of people there taking a holy dip, shaving off their head or doing some puja. The evening Arti is also one of the major attractions of this Ghat.

The Assi Ghat at the southernmost end is comparatively less crowded, but an equally important Ghat. This place is mostly visited and inhabited by long-term students, researchers and foreign students. The morning Arti at Assi Ghat is a spectacle to watch.

Manikarnika Ghat and Harishchandra Ghat are the two places where cremations take place. You will see the pyre burning at any time of the day here. These two ghats are a bit dirty and do have a peculiar smell.

Pro Tip: Walk through the ghats. The numbers sound daunting, but the ghats are near each other. We walked from the Manikarnika Ghat (almost the middle point) to Assi Ghat, and then returned by auto to our hostel near Dasaswamedh Ghat.

Take a boat ride on the Ganges

Boat ride at the Ganges is a surreal experience, especially so if you do it early in the morning during the sunrise. There are two types of boats – the motorized one and the hand-rowed one. The motorized one will take a certain number of passengers, while you can hire a hand-rowed boat for yourself. You can talk to the boatman and fix a certain rate for a fixed amount of time on the boat. The ghats look quite beautiful from the river. A hand rowed boat would take between INR 500 – 700 for one-hour boat ride.

Pro Tip: Seeing the sunrise from the boat is a unique experience, but if you want to take some great pictures of the ghat from the boat, then take a boat ride later in the day.

Attend the Ganga Arti

Ganga Arti is one of the most spectacular things to watch at Varanasi. We had earlier seen the Arti at Haridwar. The evening Ganga Arti takes place at Dasaswamedh ghat and Rajendra Prasad Ghat. Morning Arti takes place at Assi Ghat. The evening arti starts at around 6:30 PM and lasts for 45 minutes. The morning Arti starts at about 5:45 AM.

You can see the Arti by booking special seats or by riding a boat. Even if you don’t do so, you will be able to see the Arti from the ghat. Believe us, the Ganga Arti is quite impressive.

Pro Tip: Try to attend the morning Arti at Assi Ghat. It is less crowded and you can watch the Arti in peace and take some great photographs.

Visit the temples of Varanasi

Kashi is known for its temples. The Kashi Viswanath Temple is the most revered temple and is considered one of the most sacred places of worship by the Hindus. You can hire an auto and visit the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Kaal Bhairav temple, Durga Kund Temple, Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple, Maa Annapurna Temple among others.

Pro Tip: Be careful while you visit Kashi Vishwanath Temple. There are a lot of touts there. Especially beware of the shopkeepers who ask you to keep your belongings at their locker for free (You are not allowed to take anything inside the temple). Well, nothing in this world is free.

Go on a culinary trail at Varanasi

Varanasi can be a gastronomical delight. And the place is an absolute delight for vegetarians. The Chaats of Varanasi are quite famous and it will be a sin not to try the famous Benaras Chaats. Have Kachori and Jalebi, numerous chaats and then the mouth-watering desserts. Try the Lassi, Rabri and the other sweets here. And after you are full, definitely try the famous Benaras Paan (betel leaf).

Pro tip: Street food is just awesome. Just stop in front of any shop and eat to your heart’s content. In winter, definitely try Malaiyo, another frothy dessert that tastes like heaven. And yes, do visit Blue Lassi.

What is Varanasi without the Galis (lanes and alleys)

Roam around the alleys of Varanasi. They are narrow, crowded and maybe even filled with cow dung. But you can see the real Varanasi at these alleys. There is a chance that you may get lost in the alleys as we did. We could not find our way to the main road. But in the process, we saw some very beautiful buildings, old temples and lots of subject for photography.

Visit the Flower Market , Kite Market , Kachori Gali and Daal Mandi . Well, Kachori Gali does not really sell Kachoris all the way. There are only a few shops there. We were very eager to have kachoris (a mouth-watering Indian dish) in the morning and headed straight towards the Kachori Gali, only to find most of the shops closed there. The Kachori shops are only a few that too at one end.

Daal Mandi is the big market place of Benaras. Some people asked us not to visit there. We understood later why they stopped us. It is a huge marketplace with so many alleys and bye-lanes that we simply lost our way through the mazes of shops. It was anyways interesting to see the hawkers shouting to market their goods and the colourful merchandise in the stores. After walking around for about 30 minutes through the puzzling lanes of Daal Mandi, we could find our way out to the main road! Phew! So do this at your own risk.

Take a day tour to Sarnath and Ramnagar Fort

Sarnath is just 10 km away and Ramnagar Fort is 10 km but in an opposite direction. You can hire an auto and make a day trip to both these places on a day. Negotiate with the auto driver about the rate. They usually charge less if you do both the trips together.

At Sarnath, we had hired a guide who took us around the attractions. After visiting 2-3 places, he took us to a saree shop. When we did not buy anything from there, he abruptly ended the trip there, saying there is nothing more to see. We could smell a rat and checked on the net and found that there are many more things at Sarnath. By that time the guide had left after taking the charge. We had to literally argue with our auto driver to take us to those places. Sarnath is basically a small place. You can see all the attractions by walking from one place to the other.

Pro Tip: At Sarnath, if you are hiring a guide, talk to them about the places you want to see and the rate. Negotiate the price with the auto driver if you are seeing the Ramnagar Fort also.

Visit Chunar Fort and Vindyachal if you have an extra day

I had wanted to visit the Chunar Fort as it had appeared in the Hindi novel ‘Chandrakanta’. It was known as ‘Tilismi Qila’ or the ‘Magical Fort’ in the novel. But as time did not permit, we could not visit the place. Located near Mirzapur on the Vindyachal ranges, the fort is quite an interesting place. You can make a day trip to Chunar Fort and Vindyachal.

3 days Varanasi Itinerary

There is so much to see, do and experience at Varanasi, that it might sound a bit overwhelming. So here we suggest a tentative 3 days itinerary of Benaras. This is what we did.

• Arrive at Varanasi.
• Visit the Temples of Varanasi in the afternoon.
• Watch the Ganga Arti at Dasaswamedh Ghat in the evening
• Take a boat ride in the morning and watch the sunrise.
• Have a breakfast of Kachori and Jalebi.
• Make a day trip to Sarnath and Ramnagar Fort (If you start by 10 AM, you will be back by 2 PM).
• Roam about the Varanasi alleys.
• In the evening go for a culinary trail.
• Visit Assi Ghat to see the morning Arti.
• Walk through the Ghats of Varanasi and immerse in the experience.
• Visit the markets in the afternoon.
• Leave Varanasi at night.

Where should I stay at Varanasi (Benaras)?

Varanasi has a number of hotels of various budget and categories. Ther are a number of guest houses, Dharamshalas (motels), hostels and hotels of various range.  Decide where you want to stay. If you want the stay around the buzz and crowd, stay at any place near the Dasaswamedh Ghat or Manikarnika Ghat . If you are looking for peace, then stay somewhere near the Assi Ghat, Kedar Ghat or nearby.

Many of the buildings overlooking the ghats have been converted to heritage hotels. We stayed at Zostel which was about a km from the Dasaswamedh Ghat.

Best Time to visit Varanasi

The best time to visit Varanasi will be during any festival. The ghats will be lit up with numerous earthen lamps and it would be wonderful to watch. But also, there will be a lot of crowd. Otherwise, winters are the best time to visit Varanasi.

Visit Varanasi during Dev Deepavali on Kartik Poornima usually held in November. The entire ghat is lit with earthen lamps. We heard that the evening Ganga Arti is performed by 21 priests during the Dev Deepavali. But again, there will be a lot of people visiting Varanasi then.

Best Places to eat in Varanasi

For Chaats , we would suggest Kashi Chaat Bhandar and Deena Chat Bhandar near the Kashi Vishwanath Temple. The street shops are just as good.

For Kachoris , visit Gyanchand Kachori near Assi Ghat or any other shops near the Kashi Vishwanath Temple.

There are many roadside shops selling Rabri, Lassi and Malayio (only during winter). All are superb.

If you want to visit the cafes, the good ones are Kerala Café near Bhelupur, Vaatika Pizzeria at Assi Ghat, Dosa café and Brown Bread Bakery near Dasaswamedh Ghat. Bati Chokha is a veg restaurant serving some great food. But it is 3 km away from Dasaswamedh Ghat. For the meat lovers, El Parador near Maldahiya should be the place to head for.

How to avoid Scams in Varanasi – must read!

Now that we have spoken all the beautiful things about Varanasi, we also need to say a few words about the problems you might face there.  No doubt the place is chaotic, crowded and unrelentingly indiscreet. Benaras is simply unapologetic. Benaras holds the reputation of having some ingenious scammers and you will be showered with constant attention from the touts. Of the many sadhus that you encounter at Varanasi, it is difficult to tell how many of them are real, and how many frauds. First timers and especially foreign tourists are the target of the scams. Here are a few of the known scams that you can avoid at Varanasi. 

Cremation Wood Scam

This has been mentioned and told in a lot of places. Even Lonely Planet mentions it. This targets mainly the foreign tourists visiting the Ghats of Varanasi. Manikarnika Ghat is the place where the cremation takes place. While you are there, you might be approached by some well-spoken person who will probably tell you some story about the cremation process. He would then ask you for a donation to buy wood for some poor family. You might shell out a few bucks but the amount never goes to any poor. Simply ignore these people.

Over friendly historians

Again at the Ghats, someone who looks like a Sadhu or Pundit might approach you. He will start telling you about the history of the Ghat and Benaras. And then he would ask for money. It is better to ignore these people at the beginning. If you really want to know about Benaras, take part in the heritage walks in Benaras. You will spend some amount, but will not be cheated. Search online, look at Trip Advisor and then select your guide.

Hotel shut down

This happens mostly to first-time visitors to Varanasi. Once you are at the airport or railway station, you will be approached by auto and cab drivers. If you do not know about the location of the hotel, the driver will take you near the location of the hotel and then ask some shopkeeper about the location. That person (who is probably an accomplice) will tell that the hotel is shut down. Then they will take you to another hotel and quote a higher price.

It may also happen that the auto driver takes you to a different place and try to pass it off as that particular hotel.

The best thing you can do in this case is confirming from the hotel itself and ask for a pickup. If you are taking a pre-paid taxi, then do not hand over the receipt to the driver until you reach your destination.

At the ghats, you will get various rates of boats. It is better to see a few boats and then decide. Also, bargain a lot.

Free Lockers

Near Kashi Viswanath Temple, you will see a lot of shopkeepers will ask you to avail free lockers at their shop to keep your belonging. Try to refrain from these shops. Most of these are scammers and will try to extract money from you by selling you stuff.

Guides at Sarnath

If you are taking an auto from Varanasi to Sarnath, the auto driver will take you to a guide. The guide will tell you politely to pay whatever you want and he will show a couple of places. And then he takes you to a Saree shop. You are expected to buy something from the shop so that he gets his cut money. We did not buy anything and so our tour ended abruptly. We had already paid him and later found out many other places to visit in Sarnath. When we confronted our auto driver, he asked for extra money.  So before you start your tour, research the places to see and talk beforehand with the auto driver about the attractions and rate.

And then you will be approached by many Sadhus, frauds dressed as sadhus, beggars and many people asking for money. It is better to ignore all these people.

We felt that Varanasi is much like our hometown Kolkata. There are so much to know and so many things to do at Varanasi. It takes little time to get acquainted with it. But once you know the place, it is hard not to fall in love with the city. You have to see the soul of Varanasi, it is simply bewitching.  Otherwise, it is just another dirty Indian city!

Superb article A & A. Just what I wanted, as am planning a solo trip to Benares. Kudos and keep up the great work.

Thank you so much for the appreciation. 🙂

I am visiting Varanasi soon. This guide is superbly helpful. I had no clue about the morning aarti, I guess I have to wake up early and check it out one of the days 🙂

Thank you Antarik. Do check out the morning Arti. It is not that crowded and perfect for taking pics.

Great post Amrita! I’m planning to visit Varanasi for Holi, shall definitely bookmark your post 🙂

Great Avantika!, I am sure you will love Varanasi. 🙂

One of the best informative articles I have read on Varanasi. Your photos are amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jane!

I visited Varanasi last year and this is something I would call a lifetime experience! I agree with you when you say that the first impression might be overwhelming. I think no other places in the world touched me as deep as Varanasi did. Your post brought me back very intense memories. I knew the city had a few names but I didn’t know the meaning of them. Thank you for the details! Personally I’ve always called it Varanasi. At that time I didn’t know there were scams around and unfortunately we got scammed by a guy who asked money for the wood to the poor people, exactly how you described it. We didn’t know then. It’s so sad that people take advantage of tourists in such a holy place. I hope this will change one day. Amazing post!

Thank you so much. I am glad that we could rekindle your memories. We too hope that someday, these scams are put to an end.

Thanks for putting all of this info together. It’s always great to have so much background on a place!

Thank you Caitlin!

Good post. To many westerners who have not visited India, the country is a bit mysterious and confusing. Although I’ve spent a little time in India but this post really opened my eyes. Thanks for the good info, also.

Thank you Jim. India can be totally confusing and chaotic. But also beautiful. Hope you have a wonderful time here when you visit next.

What spectacular photos you have shared. I feel like I am in Varanasi myself. I love the guide about how to both enjoy the ghats and the cremations, but also, how to avoid the scams. I found it a little strange to be talking about watching a cremation one minute, and then, talking about how we should eat all the street food around! LOL! I don’t know if I would have an appetite after watching someone get cremated. Excellent post with fantastic suggestions.

Thank you Nicole! I can understand your apprehensions about watching a cremation and then having street food. But that is a part of Varanasi. We too enjoyed the street food later. 🙂

Very colourful and vivid pictures! I was really drawn to them , and the posts were so detailed.

Thank you Adele. I am glad that you like the post.

Wow! This is such a thorough and informative post on Varanasi! I really like how you keep it real and don’t hide the negative aspects like the scams of the area. They are everywhere – so it’s good to be prepared if you go somewhere. Excellent information!

Thank you so much. Tourist traps and scams are a part of any popular destination. It is better to know about them before a visit.

Thank you for this interesting history about the name of the city. I visited a couple of years back and was mind-blown by this beautiful city in which time appears to have paused 🙂

Thank you Daniel. Varanasi is indeed a beautiful city!

I love everything about Varanasi, I visited a few years back and going to visit again in a couple of months. Your detailed post does justice to this ancient city. So glad you visit Blue Lassi 🙂

Thank you Suman. Since you had suggested about Blue Lassi, I made it a point to visit the place. 🙂

I appreciate that you included some tips about the possible scams in the world. It’s interesting how different countries and regions each have their own varieties. All scams aside, it seems like there is a lot of things to do in the city. I like the idea of taking a boat ride on the Ganges during sunrise.

Thank you Elizabeth. Like all popular tourist destinations, it is also prey to the tourist scams. But, Varanasi is a fascinating city.

Good read. Loved the description 🙂

Thank you Sonal!

Honestly, I have not heard a ton about KASHI, VARANASI OR BENARAS although after reading your itinerary, this is definitely somewhere I would like to visit!

I will be watching out for these scams you refer to, as well!

Great post!

Thanks, Emily! Yes, if you ever visit Varanasi, you should keep your eyes opened for these scams.

I had known only of two of the names, Varanasi and Benares, I didn’t realise Kashi was yet another name for this place. I appreciate your sharing some more of the history of the place, as well as so many lovely photographs showing both the stunning architecture and setting, as well as the people. I would love to visit the flower market and kite market next time we go.

Thank you Kavita! Kashi is the old name of Varanasi.

Interesting read. I guess ‘chaotic, crowded and dirty’ is something that applies to many places in India, yet there is no other country that will grab your heart faster. From what I understand 3 days would be enough to visit Varanasi at length. I’d absolutely love to go there someday. Your pictures are so evocative!

Thank you Anda! Its true that ‘chaotic, crowded and dirty’ can be applied to many Indian cities and it is also true that India captures your heart like no place else.

I have lready bookmarked your article for my upcoming trip to Varanasi and shall remember all insider tips that you have mentioned out here. What a lovely post

Thanks Debjani! Enjoy your trip at Varanasi.

Varanasi has been in our bucketlist for sometime now. Your post and pictures make me want to rush there right now. Beautiful captures!

Thank you Pujarini! Varanasi is truly magical.

I was born and brought up in India and had the chance to visit Banaras twice when I was a child. I must say this post got back loads of memories. It is a mesmerising place to visit and I would love to go back one day . The ghats have so much to offer from prayers to the piers that never stop burning. Love the colours and the food of the city as well. Thanks for sharing

Thank you Amar. Surely, Banaras is truly mesmerising.

I prefer call it Kashi. I love the ancient name, Kashi is truly magical. I hardly spent a day there and I fell in love with this city so much. I must plan again. The best part of kashi is the morning aarti and the boat ride. It is a surreal experience.

I know, Kashi is truly magical. Thank you Parnashree!

Nice Blog! Varanasi is the most attractive place to visit. Very nicely written and information provided is quite helpful.

Benaras is so vibrant and magical. I absolutely love this place, it is the mix of everything. I hope I get to travel again soon here. BTW loved your blog, thanks for giving me new ideas for my next trip.

Thank you so much Shunhangi! Benaras is indeed stunning.

Good description about Kashi. Thanks to Satyajeet Ray ji. Two important things / monument needs to be appended in the text is the ‘Bharat Mata Mandir’. One might say.. oh-no.. another one. Well, Kashi is city of Temples and Ghats but this temple is unique. What makes the religious place so unique is that there are no statues of Gods and Goddess, but the temple features the map of an ‘undivided’ India as its prime deity and personifies ‘Mother India.’ It is a must see place. Secondly there should be a mention of Geographic Identification product in Kashi or Banaras. There are seven GI’ products by name Banaras. Wooden Toys, Gulabi meenakari… Etc

Thank you so much Sonal for stating these. Yes, we missed Bharat Mata Mandir on our visit to Varanasi last time. We intend to visit there the next time we are in Kashi. Thanks again.

I enjoy reading the aforementioned blog since it is both interesting and effective, and it clearly explains everything. Thank you for your time and consideration, and best of luck with your future articles. Thank you for providing such valuable information. It was quite helpful to me. I’m always looking for interesting things to read, and I finally found it in your article. Continue on!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Keep reading our blogs. Thanks again!

Very informative content. Varanasi has all the flavors of old times and new age. You can find ancient way of people worshipping and traditional way of dealing things specially around ganga. And new age things like Cruze on river, new NAMO ghat, new convection center Rudrach etc. Varanasi is a magical feeling which one can only feel when he or she is in varanasi.

hank you for the comment. Yes, Varanasi is a wonderful place that has something to offer to everyone.

so I read some of the other blogs before this but they are not that engaging , because they don’t use that many photos, and those who use images seem like very abstract but your blog is much better than that keep going

Thank you so much for youy kind words!

Nice post. As an resident of varanasi i can say that u have mentioned all info on it. Keep up the good work. All the best

Thank you So much

So Impressed by your TRIP details and Tips. Good Job.

Take a Walk on the Ghats 

Once you finish your boat trip, spend some time exploring the ghats. Because this is one of the best ways to experience the magic of Varanasi. A ghat is a series of steps that lead down to a body of water.

While walking on the ghat, you will encounter a fascinating mix of people, from pilgrims and sadhus to boatmen and vendors selling chai, street food, souvenirs, and religious items. You will also see people performing puja, and bathing in the Ganga to cleanse their sins.

You may also hear the sound of conch shells blowing and chants of mantras. Varanasi has 84 ghats, each with its significance. But Dashashwamedh Ghat and Manikarnika Ghat are the most important and oldest ghats.

Dashashwamedh Ghat

Dasaswamedh Ghat is one of Varanasi’s most famous and busiest historical ghats. And it is believed to be one of the oldest ghats in the city.

Probably this is the ghat from where you will start your morning boat ride. The main attraction of the Ghat is the evening Ganga Aarti ceremony, which takes place every day.

Manikarnika Ghat

The Manikarnika Ghat is one of the oldest ghats in Varanasi. And The ghat is also ‘known as the burning ghat’ because pilgrims come here to perform the Hindu cremation ritual.

Visiting the Manikarnika Ghat can be an intense experience. You will see families perform the last rites for their loved ones. It is a deeply spiritual and emotional experience that can leave a lasting impression.

Duration :- 1 Hour.       

Next Destination :- 500m,  6 minutes walk away from Manikarnika Ghat                          

Explore the Narrow Street of Varanasi, And Eat a Delicious Breakfast

When you’ve explored the ghats, make your way to Kachori Gali. You will walk through the oldest part of Varanasi to get to Kachori Gali. And cross some tiny lanes also witness ancient buildings and temples along the way.

Kachori Gali is where you can eat what Varanasi residents eat for breakfast. Varanasi is a foodie’s paradise, so I’ve recommended several must-try street dishes as well as the finest spots to eat them.

Kachori Gali

If you visit Varanasi, you must try Kachori Gali’s famous kachori. Kachori Gali is a small street near Manikarnika Ghat famous for its delicious street food.

The street is lined with small shops, each selling its unique style of kachori. The Ram Bhandar, at the end of the street, is one of Varanasi’s most famous shops for kachori. After trying kachori, you can try lassi at Blue Lassi.

 Blue Lassi

Blue Lassi, located in Kachori Gali, is a small shop that has been serving Lassi for generations. The shop offers unique and delicious flavours of lassi, such as classic sweet, rose, mango, chocolate, and others.

They offer quite an extensive menu. The blue lassi is a must-try for anybody visiting Varanasi. If you still have some space in your stomach, head to Kashi Chat Bhandar, which is 1 km from Blue Lasi.

Kashi Chat Bhandar

Kashi Chat Bhandar is a small street food shop that has been serving delicious chats for the last 50 years. The shop serves a variety of chaat dishes. But the most famous ones are tomato chat and Palak chat. So don’t forget to give them a try.

Explore Varanasi Temples

After breakfast, let’s start exploring some of Varanasi’s ancient temples. Start with one of the most iconic Kashi Vishwanath temples. The Temple is 800m and 9 Minutes walk away from Kashi chat Bhandar.

Kashi Vishwanath Temple (Golden Temple)

If you want to visit only one temple in Varanasi, that should be the Kashi Vishwanath Temple. The temple is one of the most respected and ancient temples in India, dedicated to Lord Shiva. As you enter the temple premises, you will feel a sense of peace and tranquillity wash over you.

The temple architecture is breathtaking, with impressive domes, pillars, and spires that reach towards the sky. The temple walls are decorated with beautiful paintings and sculptures. The atmosphere inside the temple is thrilling.

The sound of bells ringing, the aroma of incense, and glowing Diya lamps create a mesmerizing ambience. In addition, pilgrims and tourists from across India deliver prayers and engage in religious rites and rituals. I feel a strong spiritual vibe at the temple. Kashi Vishwanath temple is a must-visit temple in this 2 days Varanasi itinerary.

Note :-Make online reservations to avoid long lines at the main temple. Because it is generally quite crowded. When you book online, you will receive special help from a monk at the temple.

For a queue-less darshan, you must BOOK SUGAM DARSHAN TICKET by following the official website of SHRI KASHI VISHWANATH MANDIR TRUST

Timing : 4:00 am – 11:00 am

DURGA TEMPLE

The Durga Temple is a Hindu temple devoted to the goddess Durga that was established in the 18th century. The temple is one of the most important and well-known temples in Varanasi. The shrine architecture is spectacular, with beautiful carvings, sculptures, and paintings of Hindu gods and goddesses on the temple walls and pillars.

Within the temple, you’ll observe pilgrims conducting rituals and praying. And you’re welcomed with a calm ambience filled with the sound of bells and the fragrances of flowers and incense. A pond on the temple grounds adds to the beauty of this temple. Also, you will see several monkeys in the temple.

Timing: 7 am to 8 pm

Duration : 45 Minutes.

Next Destination : Tulsi Manas temple is 4.3km From Durga temple, by walking 50 minutes and by taxi or Auto(Tuk-Tuk) 15 Minutes.

Tulsi Manas Temple:-

Tulsi Manas Temple dedicated to Lord Rama, was established in 1964. The temple derives its name from the renowned Hindu literary work, the “Tulsi Ramayana,” written by the sage Tulsidas.

It is believed that the Tulsi Ramayana was written at this site in the 16th century. The magnificent Tulsi Manas Temple, constructed with white marble, and is a magnificent example of Indian architecture.

The walls of the Tulasi Manas Temple are one of its most remarkable features. Because the temple’s walls are covered with Goswamy Tulsida’s Ram Charith Manas episodes.

Inside the temple, you will see the beautiful image of Lord Rama with his wife Sita, brother Lakshman, and devotee Hanuman. And beautiful carvings and paintings that depict the various incidents from Lord Rama’s life.

Tulsi Manas Temple is a wonderful location to unwind after exploring Varanasi’s crowded markets and ghats.

Timing : Morning 5:30 to 12:00 pm; Evening 3:30 to 9:00 pm.

Next Destination : Sankat Mochan temple is 550m from Tulsi Manas temple, By walking 9 Minutes.

Sankat Mochan Temple

The Sankat Mochan temple is devoted to Lord Hanuman, a great Hindu god noted for his strength, intellect, and devotion. The temple is one of the oldest and holiest destinations in Varanasi for Hanuman believers.

The temple features a beautiful sculpture of Lord Hanuman. You will also witness a lot of monkeys, due to the large monkey population in Temple. The temple is especially well-known for its daily evening aarti, which is attended by hundreds of people.

Duration :- 30 Minutes.

  Timing :- 4 am to 10 pm.

After exploring the temples, you can take a walk on Varanasi Street or go shopping. Or You can return to the hotel for some rest before attending the evening, Aarti.

If you leave close to Ghats, I would recommend you to walk to Dashashwmedh Ghat for Evening Aarti, since the route will be crowdy. A short journey, such as 2 kilometres, might take 30 minutes to an hour. If you wish to take public transportation, the best option is to take a rickshaw or auto (tuk-tuk).

Witness the Evening Aarti Ceremony at Dashashwamedh Ghat.

The evening Aarti ceremony at Varanasi’s Dashashwamedh Ghat is my life’s most exciting spiritual experience. When the sun sets over the Ganges, thousands of worshippers gather on the ghat to pray to Ganga. The atmosphere is filled with devotional music, bells, chants, and the light of oil lamps.

The air is filled with an incredible scent from several incense sticks. The ceremony is performed with great dedication by priests dressed in traditional clothing, while the crowd sings devotional songs and repeats prayers.

The scene is lit up by the flickering flames of the oil lamps and the brilliant light of the rising moon. That creates a breathtaking atmosphere that is both peaceful and awe-inspiring. Visitors from worldwide come to Dashashwamedh Ghat to witness the evening Aarti. And immerse themselves in the holy atmosphere of the river Ganges.

You will get the best view of the Aarti from the boat, which is standing on the Ganga River in front of the Dashmeshwar ghat. You can hire individual boats or climb one of the boats after paying a nominal amount. Evening Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat is my favourite thing to do in Varanasi.

Don’t forget to include this in your 2-day Varanasi itinerary.

Day 2 of Varanasi Itinerary

Morning Aarti at Assi Ghat.

Start your second day with the morning Aarti at Assi Ghat, which is the best way to begin. The Aarti ceremony starts before sunrise, with the sound of devotional music, the ring of the bells, and the chanting of the prayer. The calmness of the morning, the chants, and the sounds of bells were amazing experiences for me.

You will also witness pilgrims, dressed in their traditional attire, performing daily rituals and taking a dip in the holy water of Ganga. The aarti starts with the sunrise and looks the same as the evening aarti. But the atmosphere at Assi Ghat during the morning aarti is more peaceful and spiritual.

The sound of the devotional music and the chanting of prayers fill the air, creating a serene and peaceful environment. Fewer people attend this aarti, so you can get a close look at the rituals. After arti starts a live music performance, and the whole ceremony ends with a yoga session. I feel peaceful and have fantastic energy after the morning Aarti.

• During summer: 5.00 AM to 7.00 AM
• During winter: 5-40 AM to 7.30 AM
• Total Duration: Two hours approx. for the entire programme

Eat Delicious Breakfast 

After Aarti, let’s head to breakfast. I’m going to showcase some of the top cafes for breakfast at the Assi ghat and nearby the ghat. Which are highly rated for delicious international breakfast and great service.

Ashish Cafe :- They bake their bread and create their peanut butter. They also serve amazing pancakes.

Aum Cafe :- They are known for their excellent black coffee as well as their pancakes.

Breakfast Brown Bread Bakery :- This is India’s first organic restaurant. They have a delicious breakfast buffet. The bakery is about 1.8 kilometres from Assi Ghat or about 22 minutes on foot.

Now head to Ramnagar Fort, which is 3.7km from the Assi Ghat, 10 to 15 minutes by car or auto, and 51 minutes by walking.

Visit the Historical Ramnagar Fort

Ramnagar Fort stands on the Ganges River’s eastern bank, opposite Tulsi Ghat. It was erected in the 18th century by Raja Balwant Singh and is still owned by royal descendants.

Ramnagar Fort was built in the Mughal and Rajputana architectural styles, with elegantly carved balconies. Inside the fort, there is a museum where you will see antique weapons, royal costumes, palanquins, and coins from the royal treasury. In the fort, you will find a good collection of vintage cars.

One of the most noticeable features of the fort is a one-of-a-kind astronomical clock. This clock displays not only the time but also the year, month, week, and day, as well as the sun, moon, and other planets’ astronomical information. The fort also features excellent temples dedicated to Veda, Vyasa, and Hanuman.

Timing : 10:00 Am to 5:00 Pm

Duration : About 1 Hour.

Go for a Sightseeing Tour of Sarnath

After exploring Ramnagar Fort, take a half-day trip to Sarnath. This Buddhist pilgrimage destination is approximately 10 kilometres from Varanasi. Sarnath is the place where Buddha gave his first sermon after getting an alignment.

The town is also one of the four most significant Buddhist sites in India. There are plenty of interesting attractions to explore when visiting Sarnath. The Dhamek Stupa, a gigantic structure created in the 5th century AD, is the most famous landmark to visit in Sarnath.

Plus, it is believed that this is where Buddha delivered his first sermon. Another popular attraction in Sarnath is the Ashoka Pillar, which dates from the 3rd century.

You can also visit the Chaukhandi Stupa, the Mulagandhakuti Temple, a Thai Temple, and a Japanese Temple. My personal favourite is the Thai temple. This temple is one of the newest and most attractive.

The walls and ceiling of this temple are covered with beautiful paintings and elaborate carvings. Inside the shrine, you will see lovely Buddha sculptures. And in the open space, there is also a stunning large Buddha statue.

The temple is surrounded by a beautiful green garden, making it an ideal spot to unwind. You may also visit the Sarnath Museum, which has a collection of Buddhist artefacts and manuscripts.

If you are visiting Varanasi, Sarnath is a must-see destination that should be included in your 2-day Varanasi itinerary.

How to Reach Sarnath from Varanasi

Sarnath is between 10 and 15 kilometres from Varanasi, depending on where you start. The route is generally busy; you may get there in 30 minutes to an hour. Sarnath is easily accessible by autorickshaw, taxi, old cab, or bus. The bus is a less expensive choice, but it is not the best. Even so, you can take a bus from Varanasi Train Station.

Best Time to Visit Varanasi

The best time to visit Varanasi is from October to March, because of the better weather conditions. The weather is fairly hot from April to September. The temperatures range from 35°C to 46°C.

Additionally, July through September is monsoon season, so you can expect heavy rain. But if you are comfortable in this temperature and with the rain, then the entire year is the perfect time to visit.

These two railway stations are well connected with several cities in India, such as Delhi, Jaipur, Agra, Khajuraho, Calcutta, Mumbai, Lucknow, and many others.

You can reserve your seat through the India Railway Website or 12go Asia . I would recommend booking the ticket three to four months in advance so that you have a better chance of getting your preferred seat. Trains to Varanasi from popular Indian tourist destinations are listed below.

Note :- Tundla Junction is 31 km from Agra . You may take a train from Agra Railway Station or a cab to Tundla Junction. There are many other trains that run from Agra to Varanasi; but, they do not run regularly. Hence, you should double-check before booking a train to Varanasi. Also, the DD Upadhyay (Mughal Sarai) Junction is also 8 kilometres from Varanasi.

Where to stay in Varanasi?

Assi Ghat is the ideal site to stay in Varanasi; however, any accommodation near any ghat is best. Because you will spend most of your time in the area surrounding the ghats.

How to get around in Varanasi?

Walking is the best way to discover Varanasi. The city is accessible, and walking allows you to see the city more thoroughly. But, if you are staying far from the city centre or want to get around by vehicle, you can hire a taxi, an autorickshaw (tuk-tuk), or a cycle rickshaw.

The ride will be slow in the city because city roads are usually crowded, especially during Pooja in the evening. You may visit the city via Olacab , an Indian online taxi service similar to Uber.

Where to eat in Varanasi?

No itinerary will be complete without some delicious food. While I have already given some food tips in this itinerary. Here are some of the best-rated places to eat in Varanasi.

If you want to try south Indian cuisine in Varanasi or you love dosa, visit Dosa Cafe. This is a small cafe with only four tables, but they serve the best dosa in town and, according to me, one of the best dosa cafes in India. Dosa Cafe is a hidden gem on Varanasi’s small street.

What to shop in Varanasi?

Travelling to Varanasi or any other city in the world to buy souvenirs for yourself or your friends is a great thing to do. Varanasi is a great place to shop, with a range of unique and traditional items available. I am sharing with you some of the most famous items to shop for in Varanasi.

Kashi Vishwanath Temple: The Ultimate Visitor’s Guide for A Smooth Journey

• March 14, 2023

The All-Inclusive Visitor’s Guide to Explore the Kashi Vishwanath Temple

By this time, most Indians and even foreigners recognize the famous Kashi Vishwanath Temple. It is one of the most prestigious religious locations, not only in the city but also in the country. Its importance is not limited to religion, however. It is also one of the most popular tourist places in Varanasi.

But we have already looked at the temple’s history and story. So today, we have brought you a detailed guide to help you tour the temple. If you are a first-time visitor, you can look for tips from the locals to ensure you have a positive experience.

How to Reach the Kashi Vishwanath Temple?

Reaching Kashi Vishwanath Temple is the easy part, as you have countless options. If you are staying in one of the Varanasi hotels close by, you can walk to the temple. However, there are many ways to reach the temple for the ease of tourists.

Remember that Gates 1 & 4 are the most crucial entry points. Gate No. 4 connects the corridor to the main Godowlia road. Whereas, Gate No.1 is placed in the Vishwanath Gali where the prior entry used to be.

If you are accessing the temple via the Ghat, you can enter directly through the Ganga Dwar that connects it. The gate is the official one connecting the riverside to the temple. Without further ado, here are some ways to reach the Kashi Vishwanath Temple:

• On Foot- Reaching on foot within a 2-kilometer radius is perhaps the fastest way to reach places in Varanasi. Because most streets, especially the ones near the temple, are jam-packed with vehicles.
• Car/ Taxi/ Other Vehicle- You can rent a bike, car, or bicycle to use to reach the site. It would be slightly more expensive, but ideal if you seek comfort. You could get a taxi, but the process gets tedious in the city. Since the flow of cars is already low, people have trouble finding taxis at various times.
• Public Transport- The second-best option would be to go on public transport in the city. Rickshaws and autos are always available in most spots, and you can get a ride for 5-50 rupees for most locations. The city has also recently introduced buses for the same purpose, which you can also opt for.
• Boat- If you wish to access the temple through the Ghats, you can do so after a boat ride. You can take a boat to the nearby Lalita Ghat. Then, you can enter through the Ganga Dwar situated at the Ghat. It is pretty hard to miss as it is an enormous structure. The rates for boat rides start from 50 rupees and go up for more private boats and rides.

The Official Kashi Vishwanath Temple Website

Varanasi is an ancient city, after all, so you would expect that you would not have any digital guidance to anything. After all, half the streets don’t show up in google maps and you have to manually do most things.

But the recent renovation project of the Kashi Vishwanath Temple not only focused on the architecture. But it also helped create a functional and helpful website for online bookings by visitors.

Now you can book your stay, poojas, and seats in other events at the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor. You can book standard aartis, Sugam Darhan, Rudrabhishek, and many other events online.

Here is the link to the official website to follow for the bookings- https://www.shrikashivishwanath.org/

Can You Book Your Pooja in The Temple?

If you want to book a place in the Aarti programs, you can it by visiting the official website or the official app. You can follow the following steps to book your aarti through the Kashi Vishwanath Temple official website-

• On the website, you can look for the aarti bookings session in the top bar. Then you can select the aarti you wish to attend from the options.
• To proceed with the bookings, you must register yourself with your email ID and details.
• After that, you can choose a date and number of people to attend the aarti.
• The site will show you how many seats are available for a particular date.
• If seats are available, click on book now and make the payment through your preferred mode.

Kashi Vishwanath Temple Timings

Kashi vishwanath temple timings such as the Pooja timings and the darshan timings in the temple are set. So you must keep them in mind to avoid finding the temple closed off for the time being. They happen at scheduled periods, so it is ideal to keep the timings in mind if you wish to attend the Pooja.

The darshan timings in the temple are as follows:

• Mornings- 4 am to 11:15 am
• Afternoons- 12:20 pm to 7:15 pm
• Evenings- 8:30 pm to 9 pm

However, the aartis and poojas in the Kashi Vishwanath Temple are plenty. Here are the five listed aartis and the respective timings for them:

• Mangla Aarti – 3 am to 4 pm
• Mid Day Bhog Aarti – 11:15 am to 12:20 pm
• Sapta Rishi Aarti – 07:15 am to 08:15 pm
• Shringar/Bhog Aarti – 9 pm to 10:15 pm
• Shayan Aart i – 10:30pm to 11pm

Other events and poojas are listed on the website, but they have dynamic timings. You can find the slots when you are booking them on their official website itself.

What to Eat Around the Temple Premises?

When visiting the temple- you might get hungry after walking around a lot. But not to worry, as you will be merely a walk away from Vishwanath Gali. And you already know that you can find some of the best street food in Varanasi here.

You may get the prasad in the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, but it might not be filling enough. You can get the most delicious chaat, golgappas, baati chokha, etc. Drinks like lassi, thandai, and chhach are also available, especially in summer. You can also find great restaurants if you would prefer dining in rather than a snack.

You can visit popular spots like the Vishwanath Chaat Bhandar for yummy golgappas. Blue Lassi offers classic and flavored lassis to cool you down on a hot summer day. There are a lot of unnamed spots to have street food, so you can check them out.

The Kashi Vishwanath Temple Varanasi is placed in one of the most populated areas in the city. So, you will never have a lack of places to explore or things to do. Regardless, here are some of the most popular activities you can do aside from exploring the temple-

Take a Boat Ride at The Dashashwamedh Ghat

Venture into the Kachori Gali Varanasi

The Kachori Gali is very close to the temple vicinity. It offers many classic street food options throughout the day. So, you can visit it once you’re done with the mandir darshan and pooja for a hearty meal.

Shop in Godowlia

Godowlia is a popular market in Varanasi due to its unbelievable prices and various sold goods. You can find authentic chikankari clothing and traditional wear native to Varanasi in the shops here.

If you know your way around the area, you can enjoy many unique experiences. The food and activities are enjoyable in this area, as it is one of the busiest areas. But some tips and tricks above will make your search for these easier. So, we hope that our article has been of help to you in exploring the Kashi Vishwanath Temple.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to get to Kashi Vishwanath Temple? The best ways to get to the temple would be either on foot or using public transport. Varanasi is infamous for its narrow yet packed streets, so big vehicles would be a bad idea.

Can you book aarti places in the Kashi Vishwanath Temple? Yes, now you can make an online booking on the official website and app of the Kashi Vishwanath Mandir. The bookings will yield you passes, which you can use on the day of the aarti.

Is the Kashi Vishwanath Temple far from the city center? It depends on what you would consider the city center to be, as some think it is the Godowlia area. While some others believe it to be Lahurabir. But regardless of the area, the temple is a 30–50-minute ride away from the most popular spots.

Varanasi Guide: Planning Your Trip

This Ancient Holy City is not for the Faint of Heart!

kurkul/Getty Images

Varanasi is another sacred city in India with a very old history. It could possibly be the world's oldest inhabited city. Known as the city of Lord Shiva, the god of creation and destruction, it's believed that anyone who dies in Varanasi will be liberated from the cycle of reincarnation. Even a wash in the Ganges River is said to cleanse away all sins.

Varanasi was originally called Kashi during Vedic times. It was officially named Varanasi in 1956, although it was known as Benaras before that (said to be a variant of Varanasi). The name is derived from the meeting of the Varuna and Assi rivers.

The fascinating thing about this mystical city is that its rituals are revealed openly to along the many riverside ghats , which are used for everything from bathing to burning the bodies of the dead. Yoga, blessings, massages, shaves, and games of cricket are among the other activities you'll find performed by the river's edge.

Planning Your Trip

• Best Time to Visit: October to March are the best months to visit Varanasi. This is when the weather is at its coolest. Winters are refreshing and pleasant, albeit chilly at night. The temperature gets uncomfortably hot from April onward, easily reaching 35 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). This is followed by monsoon rain from July to September.
• Language: Hindi and English.
• Currency: Indian rupee.
• Time Zone: UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) +5.5 hours, also known as Indian Standard Time. India does not have daylight saving time.
• Getting Around: Streets are very narrow in the old part of the city along the ghats , so walking is the only option in many places. It's possible to hire a bicycle at Assi Ghat. Further out, auto rickshaws and Ola cabs (the Indian version of Uber. Uber is yet to start operating in Varanasi) are convenient ways of getting around. There are prepaid booths for auto rickshaws and taxis directly outside Varanasi Junction railway station.
• Travel Tips: If you're not familiar with Varanasi and think you might be overwhelmed, or you want to gain deeper insight into the city, taking a tour is highly recommended. Keep in mind that taxis and auto rickshaws can't reach the Dashashwamedh Ghat area between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. because of the crowds. You'll be dropped at Godaulia Crossing, where auto rickshaws line up.

Getting There

Varanasi is in Uttar Pradesh, about 300 kilometers (186 miles) southeast of capital Lucknow. The city has an airport and is connected by direct flight from major cities in India including Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Lucknow, and Khajuraho.

Many people choose to travel to Varanasi by train. It takes a minimum of eight hours from Kolkata, 10 to 12 hours from Delhi, and around 30 hours from Mumbai. Most trains run overnight. The main railway station in Varanasi is called Varanasi Junction or Varanasi Cantt (the code is BSB). However, there are two other railway stations in the vicinity of the city -- Manduadih (MUV) and Deen Dayal Upadhyaya/Mughal Sarai Junction (MGS). This is important to note if all trains to Varanasi Junction are booked up. Manduadih is within the city, while Deen Dayal Upadhyaya/Mughal Sarai Junction is about 20 kilometers away. Mughal Sarai is a large station that receives a lot of trains, so you may be able to get one with availability. It was officially renamed Pandit Deen Deen Dayal Upadhyaya in 2018.

Bus services to Varanasi tend to be very slow and uncomfortable, and are generally avoidable unless you're on a super strict budget.

Things to Do

People visit Varanasi for a brush with the divine. One of the best things to do is to simply soak up the atmosphere and observe what's going on. The most interesting part of the city is its ghats (steps leading down to the river). Take a walk beside the river and watch life flow by.

A quintessential Varanasi experiences is a boat trip along the river at sunrise or dusk. It's worth going twice, at both times, because the atmosphere is different and you'll see different things. If you don't fancy hiring a simple row boat, the new luxury Alaknanda cruise operates twice a day (morning and evening) between in the south Assi Ghat and Raj Ghat in the north. The cost is 750 rupees per person.

The spectacular Ganga Aarti (prayer ceremony) takes place every evening at Dasaswamedh Ghat. You can either be part of the audience or watch it from the river. There's also an early morning sunrise Ganga Aarti at Assi Ghat. It's not as formal and provides a less touristy experience.

A look at the cremation ghats, where dead bodies are openly burned on funeral pyres, is eye-opening. It's best that you don't try and go there yourself, due to the prevalence of scams and touts (see below). Instead, take this Learning and Burning walking tour offered by Heritage Walk Varanasi or Death and Rebirth in Banaras walking tour offered by Varanasi Walks.

The magnificent Vishwanath Temple, built in 1776, is an important Hindu holy place of worship in Varanasi.

Varanasi is an excellent place to shop for silk (including saris ). However, be sure to check the quality as many items are actually made of fake silk or silk blend. Musical instruments are also a good buy in Varanasi.

Varanasi is well-known for classical dance and music, and yoga as well.

Festivals and Events

The biggest festival of the year in Varanasi is Dev Deepavali (or Dev Diwali). Not to be confused with Diwali, this festival happens 15 days later, on Kartik Purnima (in October or November). The gods are believed to come to earth to bathe in the Ganges River on this day, and the ghats are decorated with rows and rows of lamps. Their glow creates an evocative spectacle. A five-day Ganga Mahotsav festival is also held in Varanasi at the same time. The focus is on live classical music and dance.

The world's oldest Ramlila performance, which narrates the life story of Lord Ram, takes place at Ramnagar near Varanasi for a month in the lead-up to Dussehra.

Other important occasions in Varanasi include Maha Shivratri and Buddha Purnima (Buddha's birthday). The five-day Dhrupad Mela music festival happens at Tulsi Ghat, usually in March after Maha Shivratri. It's organized by the Sankat Mochan Foundation.

Maha Shivratri is also an extraordinary time to visit Varanasi to see the many sects of sadhus, who come to celebrate the great festival of Lord Shiva in the city.

It's worth setting aside a day to take a side trip to Sarnath , about 30 minutes away. This is where the Buddha gave his first discourse. In contrast to the craziness of Varanasi, it's a peaceful place where you can wander around the grassy gardens and ruins of Buddhist stupas .

If you're interested in handicrafts, you may like to visit the weaver villages around Varanasi. These include Sarai Mohana (supported by the Taj Hotel Group), Kotwa and Ayodhyapur. Tours are conducted by Holy Voyages and Walks of Varanasi.

What to Eat and Drink

Those who want a break from Indian food will find it at Assi Ghat. Pizzeria Vaatika Cafe and Aum Cafe are very popular. The Open Hand Cafe and Shop serves great coffee and yummy light meals and retails their quality ethically-made products.

Head to the Dosa Cafe or Niyati Cafe, in the lane behind Man Mandir Ghat, for simple yet tasty Indian fare.

Blue Lassi is famous for its traditional fruit-flavored lassi yoghurt drinks (some say they're the best in India). This hole-in-the-wall shop has been in business since 1925 enroute to Manikarnika Ghat.

It's wise to avoid trying the street food in Varanasi, due to hit-and-miss hygiene.

As Varanasi is a holy city, alcohol isn't permitted around the ghats and temples. Many rooftop restaurants do discreetly serve beer to tourists though. You'll only find bars in mid-range and luxury hotels away from the ghats.

Where to Stay

Ideally, stay in a hotel that faces the Ganges River so you can watch all the goings-on along the ghats . However, do be aware that most of these hotels are only accessible on foot. Be sure to factor this in if you have a lot of luggage. Here's the pick of hotels in Varanasi for all budgets.

Culture and Customs

Varanasi is a challenging destination for inexperienced travelers. There are many scams to watch out for. The most common one involves touts who will take you to see Manikarnika Ghat (the main cremation ghat) and ask you to donate wood for the funeral pyre -- you'll be paying at least 10 times more than what the wood's worth. If you offer a small amount, it will be declined. Either say you don't have any money or don't feel comfortable giving so much.

Although the government has noticeably cleaned up Varanasi in recent years, it's still very polluted and dirty. Most tourists find it to be an intense city that confronting and off-putting, yet intriguing. This is a place that will really overwhelm your senses, and not always in a good way. So, do be ready for it! It's not wise to take a dip in the Ganges River due to the pollution. If you go on a boat ride, avoid getting wet.

When taking photos, do be discrete and considerate of people who are performing rituals. Especially avoid photographing the cremation ghats.

"The Spiritual Capital of India"

Varanasi tourism.

World's oldest living city, Varanasi - also known as Kashi (City of Life) and Benaras, is the spiritual capital of India. It is one of Hinduism's seven holy cities. The old city of Varanasi lies along the western banks of the Ganges, spread across a labyrinth of narrow  galis. Be prepared to walk on foot and encounter some holy cows! Temples at almost every turn engulf Varanasi but the Kashi Vishwanath Temple is the most visited and the oldest of the lot. Benaras is known as the city of Lord Shiva for a reason, and rightfully so.

Varanasi is considered an auspicious place to die, as it is believed to grant moksha or liberation from the cycle of life and death. One of the city's most iconic features are the 80 ghats along the Ganges, where daily life unfolds against the backdrop of rituals, ceremonies, and spiritual practices. Dashashwamedh Ghat , the main ghat, witnesses the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti , a captivating ritual where priests offer prayers to the river with the rhythmic movement of lamps, fire, and chants. The boat ride along the Ganges during sunrise or sunset provides a serene and immersive experience, allowing visitors to witness the city's timeless beauty. The narrow winding lanes of Varanasi, known as galis, house numerous shrines, shops, and eateries, creating a maze that leads to hidden gems like the historic Sarnath , where Lord Buddha gave his first sermon. The city is a kaleidoscope of colors and sounds during festivals, especially during Diwali and Holi. The vibrant ghats, adorned with thousands of diyas (lamps) during Diwali, create a mesmerizing spectacle. Varanasi's local markets, such as the Vishwanath Gali and Thatheri Bazaar, offer an array of handcrafted silk, brassware, and traditional Banarasi sarees. The best time to visit Varanasi is during the winter months (October to March), when the weather is pleasant, and the city is vibrant with festivals and cultural events.

Kashi Vishwanath Temple: A Guide to the Abode of Lord Shiva

Kashi Vishwanath Temple is one of the most sacred and revered shrines of Hinduism, dedicated to Lord Shiva, the destroyer and transformer of the universe. Located on the banks of the holy river Ganga in Varanasi, the temple is also known as the Golden Temple, due to its gold-plated domes and towers. The temple is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas, the manifestations of Lord Shiva, and is believed to grant salvation to those who visit it. The temple is also the cultural and spiritual center of Varanasi, the oldest living city in the world, and attracts millions of devotees and tourists every year.

In this article, we will explore the history, architecture, rituals, and attractions of Kashi Vishwanath Temple, and provide you with all the information you need to plan your visit and experience its spirituality.

History of Kashi Vishwanath Temple

The history of Kashi Vishwanath Temple is as old and rich as the history of Varanasi itself, which is also known as Kashi, the city of light. According to legend, Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati chose Kashi as their abode after their marriage, and the temple was built by them to house the Jyotirlinga, the radiant pillar of light that represents Lord Shiva's supreme power. The temple is also mentioned in the ancient scriptures, such as the Vedas, the Puranas, and the epics, as the most sacred and auspicious place for the worship of Lord Shiva.

The temple has witnessed several phases of construction and destruction over the centuries, as it was attacked and demolished by various invaders and rulers, and rebuilt and restored by different kings and devotees. The current structure of the temple dates back to 1780, when it was rebuilt by Queen Ahilyabai Holkar of Indore, after the previous temple was destroyed by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in 1669. The temple was also patronized by other rulers and dynasties, such as the Marathas, the Peshwas, the Scindias, and the Birlas, who contributed to its renovation and expansion. The temple also received donations of gold and silver from various sources, such as Maharaja Ranjit Singh of Punjab, who donated gold for the plating of the domes and towers in 1839.

The temple has also been visited by many famous saints and devotees, who have sung praises and composed hymns in honor of Lord Shiva and Kashi. Some of the notable names are Adi Shankaracharya, Ramanujacharya, Madhvacharya, Kabir, Tulsidas, Guru Nanak, Swami Vivekananda, and Mahatma Gandhi. The temple is also associated with many legends and miracles, such as the appearance of Lord Shiva in the form of a linga, the protection of the temple by the Jnana Vapi well, and the granting of boons and blessings to those who seek Lord Shiva's grace.

Architecture of Kashi Vishwanath Temple

The architecture of Kashi Vishwanath Temple is a blend of Hindu and Islamic styles, reflecting the history and culture of Varanasi. The temple covers an area of about 5 acres, and has three distinct parts: the Garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum), the Mandapa (assembly hall), and the Sabha Griha (congregation hall). The temple has two main entrances: one from the Vishwanath Gali, the narrow lane that leads to the temple, and the other from the Manikarnika Ghat , the cremation ground on the river bank. The temple also has an exit gate, called the Kaal Bhairav Darwaza , which opens to the Jnana Vapi well.

The Garbhagriha is the innermost part of the temple, where the main deity, Lord Shiva, is enshrined in the form of a linga. The linga is made of black stone, and is about 60 cm tall and 90 cm in circumference. The linga is placed on a silver platform, and is covered with a silver canopy. The linga is also adorned with various ornaments, such as flowers, garlands, and jewels. The Garbhagriha is surrounded by a silver fence, and has four doors, each guarded by a Nandi (bull), the vehicle of Lord Shiva. The devotees can enter the Garbhagriha from the south door, and touch the linga as a part of the Sparsh Darshan (touching the deity). However, they have to follow a strict dress code, and wear only unstitched clothes, such as a dhoti or a sari.

The Mandapa is the middle part of the temple, where the devotees can sit and watch the rituals and ceremonies performed at the Garbhagriha. The Mandapa has a dome-shaped roof, supported by eight pillars, each decorated with intricate carvings and paintings. The Mandapa also has a silver throne, where the idol of Lord Shiva is placed during the festivals and special occasions. The Mandapa also has a small shrine of Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed god and the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.

The Sabha Griha is the outermost part of the temple, where the devotees can gather and chant the name of Lord Shiva. The Sabha Griha has a flat roof, supported by 40 pillars, each adorned with floral motifs and sculptures. The Sabha Griha also has a small shrine of Lord Hanuman, the monkey-god and the devotee of Lord Rama.

The temple also has several other features and attractions, such as the gold-plated domes and towers, the Jnana Vapi well, and the other temples within the complex. The domes and towers of the temple are covered with gold, which gives the temple its name, the Golden Temple. The gold plating was done by Maharaja Ranjit Singh of Punjab, who donated about 1 ton of gold for the purpose. The domes and towers are also embellished with various symbols and images, such as the trident, the crescent moon, and the snake, which represent Lord Shiva's attributes.

The Jnana Vapi well is a sacred well, located near the temple, which is believed to have been created by Lord Shiva himself. According to legend, when the temple was attacked by Aurangzeb in 1669, the priests hid the linga in the well, and placed a replica in the Garbhagriha. The well is also said to contain the knowledge and wisdom of Lord Shiva, and hence the name, Jnana Vapi, which means the well of knowledge. The well is also surrounded by a mosque, built by Aurangzeb, which is known as the Gyanvapi Mosque.

Varanasi Tour Packages

Vibrant, spiritual, and steeped in mysticism, Varanasi offers an experience to satiate the soul.

The city of ghats, known as Varanasi, Banaras, and Kashi, reflects the centuries-old traditions, influences, invasions, and metamorphosis. Not only is Varanasi the oldest city in India but also one of the most ancient in the world. Since it is one of the most important destinations for pilgrims, a Kashi yatra package is a very popular option. Situated on the banks of the holiest river in India - Ganga, this city hypnotizes with its ambience, which one can experience on their Kashi Yatra package. Whether it is the ritualistic Ganga Aarti on Dashashwamedh Ghat where the air reverberates with holy chants, experiencing nirvana at Sarnath, or just shopping for the quintessential Banarasi saree – a Kashi yatra package helps you make memories that stay with you long after you have left the city.

Some people are drawn to Varanasi for a feeling of 'moksha' or salvation while others want to have a glimpse of an ancient civilization through the Banaras tour packages. Others just want to enjoy a boat ride over the mighty Ganges. Whatever your purpose of booking a Varanasi package, Veena World can help you plan the perfect Varanasi sightseeing tour to be included in the cost-effectively priced Varanasi package that you can choose online. Based on your interests and preferences, Veena World offers a wide range of Varanasi tour packages to suit every budget, price, and cost requirement.

• Kashi Vishwanath Temple:

Considered to be one of the holiest temples dedicated to Lord Shiva, Kashi Vishwanath Temple is located in Kashi Vishwanath Galli (street). This temple is mentioned in the Kashi Khanda of Skanda Purana. It is the 12th Jyotirlinga in the country and is one of the most famous and popular places to visit for devotees and tourists alike. This temple witnesses about 3,000 visitors daily and the number even goes up to 1 lac on special occasions such as Shiva Ratri.

The complex also houses many smaller temples such as Kaalbhairav, Vishnu, Virupaksh Gauri, Vinayaka, and Avimukteshwara.

• Dashashwamedh Ghat:

Legend has it that this ghat is the place where Lord Brahma performed the Dasa (ten) Ashwa (horse)Medha (intelligence) sacrifice and hence the name. This ghat is the epicentre of many religious rituals and activities. Every evening, the Ganga Aarti is performed, and thousands of locals, tourists, and devotees turn up to witness the spectacular event. The magnificence of the aarti increases manifolds during important occasions such as Dev Deepavali which is celebrated during the Hindu month of Kartik. When booking your Varanasi city tour package, make sure witnessing the Ganga aarti is included in the itinerary.

Not only is Varanasi a hotspot for Hinduism, but it also plays a crucial role in the evolution and spread of Buddhism. Sarnath is adorned by towering stupas and it is where Gautam Buddha preached his first sermon. Sarnath is located about 10 kilometres from the city centre. The Sarnath museum displays the archaeological finds as well as a rich collection of numerous Buddha and Boddhisattva sculptures and artefacts. A kilometre away from Sarnath is the village of Singhpur, where Shreyansanath was born. Shreyansanath is the eleventh Tirthankara of Jainism and that makes Sarnath an important pilgrimage site for Jains as well. The erstwhile King of Banaras gifted Sarnath a deer-park which is in existence even today.

• Sankat Mochan Temple:

This temple is dedicated to Lord Rama and Lord Hanuman and is situated by the River Assi. This temple was built by Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya in the 1900s. This temple should definitely make it to your Varanasi Tour Package.

• Jantar Mantar:

Maharaja Jai Singh of Jaipur was a great patron of the arts and sciences. He built the Jantar Mantar, which is an astronomical observatory, in 1737. The Jantar Mantar at Varanasi is built like the ones in Jaipur, Mathura, Delhi, and Ujjain. A lot of attention to details has gone into the building of this observatory, with each structure designed to perform a particular function. The main purpose of the Jantar Mantar is to measure the local time, the Sun's declination, as well as monitor other planetary movements. The instruments used for the many astronomical purposes are so accurate that they can be used even today.

• Shopping in Banaras:

No Varanasi tour package is complete without shopping for Banarasi handicrafts and sarees. This colourful city has been at the centre of Indian civilization and thus offers an evolved opportunity to discover its many offerings. The Banarasi saree has been a quintessential part of every bridal trousseau since times immemorial. Intricate gold and silver brocade work done on fine Banarasi silks make for a treasure that is passed from generation to generation. Apart from the rich silks, this city is also known for its brassware, copperware, carpets, religious souvenirs, and unique toys. The best places to shop for these are Vishwanath Gali, Thatheri Bazaar, Chowk, and Golghar. Ensure you have some free time included in your Varanasi holiday package to look around these old markets and shop to your heart’s content.
