Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, also referred to as Banaras or Kashi, is one of the seven holiest cities in India and one of the oldest towns in the world. With its many temples, ghats, aartis, and auspiciousness, it is a popular destination along the Ganges. Whether you are travelling alone or with someone else, the numerous Varanasi tour packages offered by Swastik Holiday provide you the chance to enjoy the best of this sacred city.
The Kashi Vishwanath Temple, a shrine to Lord Shiva, is regarded as one of India's holiest temples and is located in the centre of the city. The king used to go to this temple, one of India's 12 Jyotirlingas, to worship during important festivals. Its tower includes roughly 800kg of gold plating. The Tulsi Manas Temple, Durga Temple, and Batuk Bhairav Mandir are a few additional temples where you can go for a darshan.
There are more than 80 ghats here due to its location along the Ganges; Assi Ghat, Dashashwamedha Ghat, and Shivala Ghat are some of the well-known ghats. Don't forget to attend the fortunate Ganga aarti at the Dashashwamedh Ghat in Varanasi, which is illuminated by oil lamps and diyas as priests chant discourses. The ghats are also a great area to relax and watch the sun set.
It's not necessary to limit your visit to Varanasi to its temples. You can go to some of its historical buildings, like the Alamgir Mosque, Chunar Fort, and Ramnagar Fort. The sculptures and displays of pottery, paintings, jewellery, and other items in the Bharat Kala Bhavan Museum are well-known. Don't forget to stop at Vishwanath Gali, a well-known street where you may buy food, god statues, house furnishings, and other goods.
Varanasi is best visited between November and February, when the weather is cool and windy. The majority of its attractions can be seen in two to three days. Hostels, motels, B&Bs, guesthouses, and other lodging options are available. Moreover, surrounding locations like Prayagraj, Ayodhya and Lucknow are frequently included in Varanasi trip packages.
Together with Varanasi, Sarnath is also a popular pilgrimage destination. Sarnath, a city of tremendous religious significance to Buddhists, Hindus, and Jains, is the location of Gautam Buddha's first sermon. One of Sarnath's most notable stupas, the Dhamek Stupa, is thought to have been constructed on the exact place where Gautam Buddha delivered his first speech on the eightfold path. On the other hand, Jesus first met his disciples where the Chaukhandi Stupa now stands.
The Tibetan Temple is a shrine with a figure of Buddha, prayer wheels, and other Tibetan Buddhist paintings. Spend some time in the Archaeology Museum, where you may find artefacts from from the third century BC to the 12th century AD, to learn more about Sarnath. The Ashoka Pillar, the national emblem and a reminder of Emperor Ashoka's visit to Sarnath, should not be missed.
Be ready for police frisking and check when you book a Varanasi trip package to visit the Kashi Vishwanath Temple. Mobile phones, cameras, cigarettes, lighters, and belts with metal buckles are prohibited within the building for security reasons. Keep in mind to safeguard your papers and possessions. Never take photos of any rites or cremations. Respect all animals and keep your distance from them at all costs, especially cows and bulls. They are given honourable treatment. To experience a hassle-free trip, pre-arrange for lodging, transportation, visits, and excursions along with the Varanasi tour package.
