The Place
Varanasi, at road level
Varanasi is the oldest continuously inhabited city India shows to travellers — a riverfront of 80-plus ghats where dawn boat rides and the evening Ganga aarti at Dashashwamedh frame every visit.
Sarnath, where the Buddha first taught, is a short drive out, and the city pairs naturally with Prayagraj and Ayodhya on a pilgrimage circuit.
