My trip to Varanasi this Diwali Vacation.....
Varanasi,is one of the most blindingly colorful, chaotic and indiscreet places on earth.
Also known at various times in history as Kashi (City of Life) and Benares, this is one of the world's oldest continually inhabited cities and is regarded as one of Hinduism's seven holy cities.
It is called the city of temples and ghosts Kashi Vishwanath temple is the most famous one dedicated to Lord Shiva.
Varanasi is also well known for its sweets...and so i ended up having a great party.
The area in which i was staying was very peaceful and quiet unlike the noisy city which was jam packed with people and vehicles.
The city was full of gullies......selling all kinds of things....
Situated on the banks of river Ganga we can witness ganga aarati being conducted along the ghats..
I also enjoyed the street food.....there was all kinds of stuff to eat , things not typical of Benarasi cuisine..
I ate ,went for sightseeing , met artists made friends and enjoyed my stay a lot.................. :]
