Varanasi and the Ganges River

Varanasi, also known as Banaras, may be the oldest city on the planet. It is also the most important pilgrimage site in India for the Hindu. The sacred Ganges River flows through Varanasi and the Hindus line up on the ghats on the river bank to wash and pray. Many old people come to Varanasi to die so as to ensure an instant route to heaven.
