Varanasi, often called Kashi or the ‘City of Lights’ by Hindus, is a city with deep roots. Some say its first inhabitants settled around 1000 BC. Legend has it that the city was created by the Hindu god, Lord Shiva, making it around 3000 years old. With its 87 riverfront steps, known as ghats, Varanasi is a living testament to ancient traditions.

It is believed in Hinduism that in the city of ghats, the soul leaves the human body and rises up towards salvation, which is named Varanasi, Benaras or Kashi. The innumerable ghats in Varanasi, as there are more than 84 ghats in this city, are considered to link the microcosm, known as the human world to the macrocosm, the divine spiritual world.
