Varanasi is one of the oldest cities of India situated on the banks of River Ganges and is believed to be a sacred city with very old tradition and culture. Varanasi or Banaras is a place famous for spiritualism, mysticism, Indian philosophy and Hinduism which are reflected in numerous sects, temples, Ashrams and Ghats.It is also associated not only with Hinduism but also with Buddhism and Jainism. Varanasi also boasts of Buddhist Stupas and Jain temples. The Ganges Ghats (river fronts) are the main center of religious activities and rituals and forms one of the main attractions of Varanasi. The most important temples of Varanasi are Durga temple, Vishwanath temple, Sankat Mochan temple, Tulsi Manas temple and the Bharat Mata temple
Spiritual life in Varanasi revolves around the ghats, the long string of bathing steps leading down to the water on the western bank of the Ganges.. The best time to visit the ghats is at dawn when the river is bathed in a mellow light as pilgrims come to perform puja (literally ‘respect’; offering or prayers) to the rising sun, and at sunset when the main ‘ganga aarti’ ceremony takes place at Dasaswamedh Ghat. One can explore a trip from Dasaswamedh Ghat south to Harishchandra Ghat and can have a great knowledge about the place Varanasi.
VARANASI - The city of lord Shiva the cradle of religion, culture & Learning. The city is known as the Cultural Capital of the entire World.
Standing on the western bank of India's holiest river Ganges, Varanasi is the oldest surviving city of the world and the cultural capital of India. It is in the heart of this city that there stands in its fullest majesty the Kashi Vishwanath Temple in which is enshrined the Jyotirlinga of Shiva, Vishweshwara or Vishwanatha. Here gravitate the teeming millions of India to seek benediction and spiritual peace by the darshan of this Jyotirlinga which confers liberation from the bondages of maya and the inexorable entanglements of the world. A simple glimpse of the Jyotirlinga is a soul-cleansing experience that transforms life and puts it on the path of knowledge and bhakti.Also known as the Golden Temple, t is dedicated to Lord shiva, the presiding deity of the city. Varanasi is Said to be the point at which the first jyotirlinga, the fiery pillar of light by which shiva manifested has supremacy over others gods, broke through the Earth’s crust and flared towards the heavens. More than the Gaths and even the Ganga, the Shivalinga installed in the temple remains the devotional focus of Varanasi.
After attaining enlightenment at Bodh Gaya the Buddha went to Sarnath; and it was here that he preached his first discourse in the deer park to set in motion the 'Wheel of the Dharma'. It is one of the most holy sites as in this place the stream of the Buddha's teaching first flowed.
At this place, the Buddha encountered the five men who had been his companions of earlier austerities. On meeting the enlightened Buddha, all they saw was an ordinary man; they mocked his well-nourished appearance. "Here comes the mendicant Gautama," they said, "who has turned away from asceticism. He is certainly not worth our respect." When they reminded him of his former vows, the Buddha replied, "Austerities only confuse the mind. In the exhaustion and mental stupor to which they lead, one can no longer understand the ordinary things of life, still less the truth that lies beyond the senses. I have given up extremes of either luxury or asceticism. I have discovered the Middle Way". Hearing this the five ascetics became the Buddha's first disciples.

I have stayed at room no. 208 from 18th Jan'19 to 20th Jan'19 in a delux AC room though AC is not required in the month of January. Only cons is the size of the room is small but all other aspects are on pros side. The room has all the essential requirements even with a coffee maker. The housekeeping is outstanding as good as the room service. The behaviour of the staffs are excellent. The have a veg resturent with very good quality testy food though price is a little bit high compared to other food destination at Varanasi.
Only one thing they need improvement is the lighting in the room is insufficient. You can't read in that light
Staff were friendly and supportive. Facilities in the room was good. Easy access to transport and places of interest.
Very good location. very clean hotel. We walked as well to great palace, everything is close and you can reach also by walking. Close to hotel are as well many street food locals with tasty food :)
this hotel has a great location, right at the heart of the market and very near to the ganga ghats and the Kashi Vishwanath temple. Also the staff is friendly. But the rooms are small, no geyser and not upto to the cost they are charging per night. We stayed here for 1 night so we adjusted somehow. The restuarant is okay for dinner but not for breakfast. They could not provide us any cooked food item when we were checking out from the hotel at 7:30 am next morning to continue our trip.
