Varanasi/ Benaras/ Kashi

I love the energies, the smells and the sound of looms in this ancient city of Kashi Vishwanath. You pray, you take a dip in the holy Ganges, you eat the chaat and the malai and then shop to your heart's content.
A place with many names, with temples in every lane, it is believed that to die in Varanasi is to attain salvation.
