Varanasi, UP, Incredible India
The Ganga Aarti is a ritual performed at the banks of the holy River Ganges every evening, honouring the Goddess Ganga. This is a beautiful spectacle not to be missed during a visit to Varanasi.

Varnasi - According to legend, the city was founded by the Hindu deity, Lord Shiva, around 5,000 years ago,[3] thus making it one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in the country. It is one of the seven sacred cities of the Hindus. Many Hindu scriptures, including the Rigveda, Skanda Purana, the Ramayana, and the Mahabharata, mention the city.
Varanasi is generally believed to be about 3,000 years old.[14] Varanasi was a commercial and industrial centre famous for its muslin and silk fabrics, perfumes, ivory works, and sculpture. During the time of Gautama Buddha (born circa 567 BCE), Varanasi was the capital of the Kingdom of Kashi. The celebrated Chinese traveller, Xuanzang, attested that the city was a centre of religious, educational, and artistic activities, and that it extended for about 5 km along the western bank of the Ganges.
It was at this very place where an unusual incident was observed, an indian crocodile seized a sleeping indian tiger on the bank of the river and dragged it into the water

The new Vishwanath temple of Varanasi is located in the premises of the Banaras Hindu University (BHU). It is also called the Birla temple as the famous industrialist family of India, the Birlas, constructed it. The New Vishwanath Temple is dedicated to lord Shiva and is a replica of the original Vishwanath temple. The temple is built in white marbles, and was planned by Madan Mohan Malviya, the founder of the Banaras Hindu University. The most important characteristic of the new Vishwanath temple is that it is open to people from all castes and religions.

This is the main temple located at the Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Banaras Hindu University has a rich history. Gandhiji gave his first political speech in India (on return from S. Africa) at the foundation stone laying ceremony of BHU.
Among the famous non-Indian families associated with BHU is the royal family of Nepal. Most of the Nepalese royal family members including King Birendra have graduated from BHU.
