Varanasi, also referred to as Kashi or Banaras, is the holiest city in India. Situated on the banks of the Ganges, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, Varanasi is the spiritual centre of the country. Millions of Indians come to this city to wash their sins away in Ganga, attain forgiveness, and be closer to obtaining moksha.
Moksha is Nirvana, freedom from the cycle of death and life. It is believed that the souls of the people who die here, or are cremated here, attain moksha. The Varanasi Ghats are especially beautiful, and also the centre of most spiritual activities and energy.
