In General
 The holy city of
Varanasi is one of the oldest living cities in the world. Mark
Twain, the English author once wrote: "Benaras is older than
history, older than tradition, older even than legend and looks
twice as old as all of them put together". The city of
Varanasi is situated along the west bank of the Ganges in the
north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, is the most
important and sacred pilgrimage center for Hindus. The center street of
Varanasi is the favourite
home base for travellers,
and is filled with hotels, guesthouses, restaurants, internet cafes, handicraft
shops and travel agencies.

great cultural and historical significance. The rhythmic chanting of mantras and hymns along with the
fragrance of incense, fills the air with mysticism. The rhythmic of
Mantras its sounds everywhere all day in the holy Ganges for the people that
meditate and want to constraint all of them energy in

India
Varanasi is associated with promotion of spiritualism,
mysticism, Sanskrit and yoga, and has a different experience to
offer. The gentle waters of the Ganges is full of local and foreign
tourist waiting for the sunrise. The nightly ceremony of thanks and
blessing to the river had begun. A huge crowd watched the
priests to offer a series of prayers to the four directions, often
using fire to illuminate their ritual. The noise of the ceremony is
cleaning your mind and is let this ancient spirit to touch
your soul. For me the journey in India is finish with the best way
in the holy city of Varanasi the place where Buddha preached
his first sermon after enlightenment.
