Banaras, also known as Varanasi, is an enchanting place where shrines adorn every corner and narrow streets lead to temples. The air is filled with the resonant chants of deities, creating an atmosphere of spiritual energy. It is said that when one is truly blessed, the divine force draws them to this sacred land. This three-hour tour in Varanasi encompasses all the highlights of India’s spiritual capital.
The journey begins at St. Thomas Church, painted in vibrant yellow. In a city believed to be established by Lord Shiva, a church might seem unusual, yet it beautifully illustrates the harmonious coexistence of diverse cultures. Next, explore the vibrant and lively markets of Banaras, followed by a visit to a silk manufacturing company. Banaras silk is renowned worldwide, and this tour offers a firsthand look at its creation process.
The tour continues to the Kedareshwar temple, a revered Shiva temple on the banks of the sacred Ganges. This temple is profoundly holy, with the belief that the Shiv lingam naturally manifested here, making a visit as sacred as a pilgrimage to the famous Kedareshwar temple in the Himalayas.
As the spiritual journey progresses, visit Kedar Ghat on the holy banks of the River Ganges, the heart of Varanasi. Here, the cycle of life, death, and the afterlife unfolds before your eyes—ascetic sadhus, devotees taking holy dips, prayers at dawn and dusk, and the final rites of Hindu cremations. It is truly a place where life and death coexist seamlessly.
The tour also includes a visit to Parvati Kund, a sacred well near the Ghats, believed to have healing properties. A dip in its waters is said to cure many ailments. As you stroll through the streets, you’ll encounter numerous other sacred sites like Sri Sringeri Shankar Math, Chimneshwar temple, and Shitla Ghat. Midway, enjoy refreshments and snacks at a local eatery before continuing to the Kashi Vishwanath temple. In the evening, a multilingual guide will join you at the Ghats to witness the magnificent Ganga aarti ceremony.
“Banaras is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together!” - Mark Twain
