What makes Kashi Vishwanath Temple Visit & Ganga Aarti Experience a unique experience ?
The Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple, situated in the ancient and sacred city of Varanasi, India, is one of the most revered Hindu temples in the country. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the deity of destruction and transformation in Hinduism, it holds immense spiritual significance for millions of devotees worldwide. The temple is renowned for its magnificent architecture, intricate carvings, and spiritual ambiance, drawing pilgrims and tourists alike. It stands as a symbol of devotion, faith, and the rich cultural heritage of India, attracting seekers of spiritual enlightenment and those seeking solace in the divine presence of Lord Shiva.
Manikarnika Ghat, the main burning ghat, is the most auspicious place for a Hindu to be cremated. Dead bodies are handled by outcasts known as doms, and are carried through the alleyways of the old town to the holy Ganges on a bamboo stretcher, swathed in cloth.
Dashashwamedh Ghat is the main ghat and most spectacular ghat in Varanasi on the Ganga River. Two Hindu legends are associated with it: According to one, Lord Brahma created it to welcome Lord Shiva. According to another legend, Lord Brahma Sacrifices ten horses during Dasa- Ashwmedha-Yajna.
Aarti is a Hindu ritual, in which light is offered to one or more deities. Aarti also refers to the songs sung in praise of the deity, when the offering of lamps is being offered. Hindus in India worship the river Ganges as goddess. Every evening in Varanasi, aarti is performed at the Dashashwamedh ghat. We can watch it from the ghat or from the waterside in a boat. It is a beautiful, resonant, and majestic spectacle with a very precise choreography involving rituals performed by several priests with the sound of bells, drums, cymbals, and Sanskrit mantras. The river is also worshiped with flower petals.
