Varanasi - The Setting in Motion of the Wheel of Dharma.

Varanasi is a famous cultural and spiritual capital of India. This is one of the oldest pilgrimage destinations located in Uttar Pradesh and is visited by a huge number of devotees and tourists as well. There are numerous ancient temples, scenic Ghats at holy River Ganga along with several Buddhist and Jain stupas in this pilgrimage spot. The sacred city is now an important industrial center popular for silk fabrics, muslin ivory works, perfumes, and sculpture. Witness the divine spectacle of age-old holy aarti offered to River Ganga as the devotees pray near the water with lanterns days and enjoy the boat ride on its tranquil waters especially during sunrise and sunset.
