Detailed Overview

Varanasi, the holy city of India, is also known by the names Kashi and Benaras. Varanasi, the city of Moksha for the Hindus for ages, is known for its fine-quality silks, 'paan' and Benares Hindu University. Varanasi has been one of the most popular pilgrimage points for Hindus since ancient times. There are almost 100 ghats (places with steps leading to the river) along the Ganges River in Varanasi. The Ghats in Varanasi symbolically represent the five diverse elements, or Pancha Tattva, that constitute the human body. Varanasi has also grown as an important industrial centre, famous for its muslin and silk fabrics, perfumes, ivory works, and sculpture. Hindus believe that death in the city will bring salvation, making it a major centre for pilgrimage.
