Varanasi is a famous holy city in India, the city of Shiva and a major pilgrimage center for Hindus. Varanasi culture is associated with the Ganges River and its religious importance to Hindus as a link to their spirituality. The ghats along the River are the biggest attraction. The name Varanasi has also been known as Kashi and Benares, but the present name is an ancient one meaning the city between two rivers.
The history of Varanasi dates back to the 8th C and it is considered one of the oldest cities in the world, although most of the buildings are only a couple of hundred years old.
