Varanasi also known as Banaras or kashi located in Uttar Pradesh state of north India. It is the holiest of seven sacred cities for Hindus. Varanasi’s ghats, stone embankments along the sacred Ganges River where locals and pilgrims perform ritual ablutions, are major attractions for both pilgrims and tourists. There are several religious buildings around this area which are Alamagir Mosque, Durga Temple, Gauri Matha Temple, Kaal Bhairav Temple, Nepali Hindu Temple, Shri Kashi Vishwanth Temple, Sankat Mochan Temple, Sarnath, Tulsi Manas Temple. The city can be extremely hot in the summer months so mostly tourists prefer their visit between October and March.
