Varanasi - Ayodhya - Naimisharanyam

Varanasi, also known as Kashi or Banaras, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and is considered the spiritual capital of India. Situated on the banks of the sacred river Ganges in the state of Uttar Pradesh, Varanasi is a place where Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism intersect.
Ganges River Ghats: Varanasi is famous for its ghats, or stepped embankments, along the Ganges River. Dashashwamedh Ghat is one of the most prominent and is known for its evening Ganga Aarti ceremony, where priests perform rituals with fire and incense, accompanied by devotional songs. Other notable ghats include Assi Ghat, Manikarnika Ghat (the main cremation ghat), and Panchganga Ghat.
Kashi Vishwanath Temple: Dedicated to Lord Shiva, this temple is one of the most revered Hindu temples in India. It is located near the Dashashwamedh Ghat and is visited by millions of devotees each year. The temple's gold-plated spire is a prominent landmark in Varanasi.
Sarnath: Located just a short distance from Varanasi, Sarnath is where Lord Buddha is said to have delivered his first sermon after attaining enlightenment. The Dhamek Stupa and the Ashoka Pillar are important landmarks in Sarnath, and the site also houses several ancient Buddhist monasteries and temples.
Bharat Mata Temple: This unique temple is dedicated to Mother India and features a large relief map of the Indian subcontinent carved out of marble. It symbolizes the unity and diversity of India.
Banaras Hindu University (BHU): One of the largest residential universities in Asia, BHU has a sprawling campus with lush gardens and impressive architecture. The Bharat Kala Bhavan museum on campus houses a rich collection of artifacts, including sculptures, paintings, and textiles.
Ramnagar Fort: Situated on the eastern bank of the Ganges River, this fort was built in the 18th century by the Maharaja of Varanasi. It houses a museum showcasing vintage cars, royal artifacts, and a unique collection of manuscripts.
Assi Ghat Arti: While the Dashashwamedh Ghat hosts the most famous Ganga Aarti, the Assi Ghat also holds a serene and beautiful evening Aarti ceremony, which is less crowded but equally spiritually uplifting.

Ayodhya city was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Ayodhya, where Lord Ram was born. It is also mentioned in Hindu mythology and the Ramayana. The ancient scripture of Atharvaveda describes Ayodhya as 'a city built by gods' and compares its prosperity with the glory and splendor of the paradise. Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire in India, constructed a mosque in Ayodhya. It became the part of the great Mughal Empire and was ruled by them for many years. After the decline of the Mughal Empire, it became a part of the regional state of Awadh, which was later annexed by the British.
Ram Janmabhoomi: This is the site believed to be the birthplace of Lord Rama. The Babri Masjid, which stood at this site, was demolished in 1992, leading to significant controversy. The site has since been the focus of legal and religious disputes, and a temple dedicated to Lord Rama is being constructed there.
Hanuman Garhi: This is a temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman, the loyal devotee of Lord Rama. It is located atop a hill and offers panoramic views of the city. The temple is especially crowded on Tuesdays and Saturdays, which are considered auspicious days for worshiping Lord Hanuman.
Kanak Bhawan: This temple is dedicated to Lord Rama and his consort Sita. It is believed to have been gifted to Sita by her mother after her marriage to Rama. The temple is known for its beautiful architecture and intricate carvings.
Nageshwarnath Temple: This temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is believed to have been established by Kush, the son of Lord Rama. It is located near the banks of the Sarayu River and is a popular pilgrimage site, especially during the Hindu festival of Shivaratri.
