Varanasi is the sacred city of India where the pilgrims come from all over the world to seek peace and enlightenment. I thought it was better to introduce sailing in my article.
1) The name Varanasi is the name of two rivers, Varuna and Asi.
2) It is said that Varanasi is the oldest city in the world in the sense of home.
3) There are more than 2,000 tempgli Varanasi.
4) Every year, miles of pilgrims come to Varanasi.
5) It is said that Shiva first Jyotirlinga, the fiery column of light, came here and through the ground and went up in flames in the sky. That's why Varanasi is also called Kashi, "The city of light."
6) Kashi is mentioned in Mahabharata, Ramayana, and Srimad Bhagvatam Purans, which are scirtte 5000 years ago.
7) The Muslims have given the name of Benares.
8) When India became an independent country vechhio the name was given to the city.
9) It is said that one who dies in Varanasi reaches moksha (liberation).
10) For many, this is one of the highlights of the tour of India to embark on a boat at 6 am and see the city at the time of sunrise.
11) Varanasi has sacked many times by Muslims invadori starting from the eleventh century.
12) Aurangzeb, a Mugal emperor, destroyed many temples during his reign in the seventeenth century.
13) were cosriutie mosques instead of temples.
14) There are 81 ghats, the number of bathrooms, or holy tank.
15) Three most important ghats are Manikarnika, Dasaswamedha and Pancha-ganga.
16) Many pilgrims walk the distance of 58 kilometers around the city starting Manikarnika Ghat. This step is assumed as a turn around the world.
17) Tulasi Das translated Ramayana from Sanskrit to Hindi in Varanasi and there is also a temple in her honor.
18) Sarnath which is famous as a place where Buddha preached the Enlightenment is located 10 kilometers from this city.
I think that one can find peace everywhere, but then there are places such as Varanasi magic where one can find it easily and one can understand the true meaning of life. What do you think?
