About Varanasi
The City of Light (Kashi)
Varanasi is not just a city; it is an experience of life and death co-existing. Mark Twain wrote it is older than history. Seekers come here to understand mortality. The burning ghats (Manikarnika) operate 24/7, cremating bodies in open view, reminding visitors of the impermanence of the body. Yet, the sunrise boat rides on the Ganges offer profound peace.
Shiva's own city. Dying here is said to grant Moksha (liberation). It is the ultimate destination for the Aghori tradition.
