Dasaswamedh GhatDashashwamedh Ghat is one of the oldest and most spectacular ghats on the banks of the River Ganges in Varanasi. Located near the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, it serves as the city’s spiritual heart and is famous for its vibrant rituals, sacred atmosphere, and the iconic Ganga Aarti ceremony performed every evening. According to legend, Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe, performed a Dashashwamedh Yajna (sacrifice of ten horses) here to welcome Lord Shiva — which is how the ghat got its name.
-
Manikarnika GhatManikarnika Ghat is the oldest and most sacred cremation ghat in Varanasi, deeply rooted in Hindu beliefs about life, death, and liberation. It is said that those who are cremated here attain moksha — freedom from the cycle of birth and rebirth — making it one of the most spiritually significant places in India. According to legend, Goddess Parvati’s earring (Manikarnika) fell at this very spot while Lord Shiva was performing the cosmic dance of creation and destruction. The ghat thus became a divine site connected to both life and death.
-
Kashi Vishwanath TempleThe Kashi Vishwanath Temple, often called the Golden Temple, is the most sacred Hindu shrine in Varanasi and one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva — the holiest abodes of the deity. Located on the western bank of the River Ganges, it has been a center of faith and devotion for centuries, drawing millions of pilgrims from across India and the world. The temple’s gold-plated spire and dome, donated by Maharaja Ranjit Singh of Punjab in the 19th century, give it its iconic golden appearance. Inside, the main sanctum houses the revered Shivlinga of Vishwanath (Lord of the Universe), symbolizing the eternal cosmic energy.
