Varanasi has been a pilgrimage place for all Hindus from times immortal and it has also been a great center for learning and civilization for all. Situated on the West Bank of the Ganges, Varanasi extends back from the riverbank ghats to a winding maze of picturesque alleys overlooking tall houses alongside, dotted with temples. This place has a rich collection of temples situated alongside the River Ganga, which makes it a proper place to attain salvation and moksha by the Hindus.

State : Uttar Pradesh
