Varanasi (Hinduism)

Varanasi is one of Hinduism’s oldest living pilgrimage cities, known for its riverfront ghats, daily aarti ceremonies and ritual bathing in the Ganges. This guide explains when to attend the evening aarti, how to book boat rides, temple etiquette and safety tips for crowded ghats. We also offer advice on accommodations near the river, what to bring for rituals, and how to experience Varanasi’s spiritual atmosphere with cultural sensitivity.
