Description
This interactive, live-streamed Online Experience will allow you to visit the holy city of Varanasi from the comfort of your own home. Varanasi, also known as Benaras or Kashi, is known for its 84 Ghats, or riverfront steps which lead down to the sacred Ganges river and are used by devotees to take holy baths and perform religious rituals.
On this virtual tour, you will explore the city's most famous Ghats, namely the Dashaswamedh Ghat, the Man Mandir Ghat, the Meer Ghat, and the Lalita Ghat. Together, we will visit some of the palaces built along these ghats by the Maharajas of yesteryears and learn their significance in Hindu mythology. See some famous temples built along the ghats, and make your way to the Udasin Sanskrit Mahavidyalaya, one of the oldest functional universities in the city and even the whole world.
As we stroll along the ghats, you will see Sadhus meditating. At this juncture, I will tell you about their fascinating history and regale you with the story of Makar Sankranti, one of the biggest Hindu festivals which is celebrated in Varanasi.
Join this virtual tour for a unique, spiritually uplifting experience in one of the holiest cities of India.
