Varanasi Tour

Experience India’s Oldest Living City with Prayag Tourist Guide

“Benares is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend…” – Mark Twain

Embark on a transformative journey to Varanasi (also known as Kashi or Banaras), a city that transcends time itself. Nestled along the sacred banks of the holy River Ganga, this ancient spiritual capital has been a beacon of devotion and enlightenment for over 3,500 years. According to Hindu mythology, Varanasi is the very cradle of creation – the first place where light fell upon our world, igniting the spark of life and illuminating humanity’s path.

The Divine City of Shiva

Varanasi is deeply connected to Lord Shiva, who never abandoned this sacred place. According to the Shiv Purana, the Nirguna Supreme God created this auspicious Panchkroshi city as the essence of all energies. The word “Kashi” derives from “Kash” (to shine), as it illuminates the path to Nirvan. Some Puranas suggest the name “Varanasi” comes from its location between two streams – Varna and Asi – that form its northern and southern boundaries.

This holy place, also called Avimukt (never forsaken by Shiva) or Anandavan (forest of bliss), has been the ultimate pilgrimage destination for millennia. It’s believed that those who leave their mortal body in Kashi achieve liberation (moksha) from the cycle of rebirth – making it both a celebration of life and a gateway to spiritual freedom.
