Varanasi is not just a place you visit—it is a living experience of faith, philosophy, and continuity.

With Antriksh Travel’s expert coordination, this sacred journey becomes smooth, meaningful, and deeply fulfilling.
Why Varanasi Holds a Special Place in India’s Spiritual Landscape
Varanasi, also known as Kashi or Banaras, is believed to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. For centuries, it has drawn saints, scholars, devotees, and seekers in search of moksha—liberation from the cycle of life and death.
The City of Lord Shiva
Varanasi is revered as the abode of Lord Shiva. The presence of the sacred Kashi Vishwanath Jyotirlinga makes the city one of the most important pilgrimage centers in Hinduism.
The Ganga and the Ghats
The River Ganga flows through the heart of Varanasi, lined by more than 80 ghats where rituals unfold daily. Life, death, prayer, and celebration coexist here in a way found nowhere else in the world.
Destination Highlights You Will Experience
Kashi Vishwanath Temple
One of the twelve Jyotirlingas, the Kashi Vishwanath Temple is the spiritual nucleus of the city. Devotees believe that a darshan here grants divine blessings and spiritual liberation.
Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat
As evening descends, priests perform the iconic Ganga Aarti with synchronized chants, oil lamps, and incense. The sight of hundreds of lamps illuminating the river is profoundly moving.
Assi Ghat and Subah-e-Banaras
Witness the gentle rhythm of morning yoga, prayers, and classical music at Assi Ghat as the sun rises over the Ganga—a peaceful counterpoint to the city’s vibrant evenings.
Sarnath – The Buddhist Legacy
Just outside Varanasi lies Sarnath, where Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon. The Dhamek Stupa and serene monasteries add a contemplative dimension to the journey.
