Explore the Spiritual Capital of India – Varanasi, A Perfect Place for Spiritual Awakening
Varanasi, or the erstwhile city of Banaras, is fabled for its mystique. Banked by the holy river Ganga, Varanasi witnesses millions of pilgrims and tourists walk through its narrow streets, bathe on its stepped ghats, pray at its over 2000 temples, and find deliverance from the throes of mundane, urban life. No wonder it is called the spiritual capital of India.
For a complete spiritual awakening, a wide range of eclectic experiences can be derived from the city of Varanasi:
1. Walking through the lanes
The streets of Varanasi are older than time and are bustling with mystics, ancient artifacts, goods, and commodities. You can immerse yourself in the local culture and architecture by walking over to Dal Mandi, Kite Market, Vishvanath Gali, and the famous Dasashwamedha Ghat.
2. Soaking in at the evening aarti
A boat ride in the sacred Ganga River will liberate your senses, which can be followed by the enchanting evening aarti at the ghats.
3. Indulging in yoga and meditation
The air at Varanasi is pure and incense-laden, thus creating the perfect ambiance for yoga and meditation sessions. You can join in the exercise at the temples, riverbanks, or at wellness centers.
