Varanasi, also known as Kashi and Benaras, is the cultural capital of India. Varanasi is a melting pot, where both death and life come together.

"Older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, And looks twice as old as all of them put together ".

Varanasi is one of the oldest living cities in the world, with a continuous history dating back 3,000 to 5,000 years.

please post your pics to show the love to your city.
