Religious and Cultural Tour to Varanasi and Sarnath |
|
|
See the famous Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi and the Buddhist Stupas at Sarnath
| Overview | |
|
On this religious and cultural tour, visit two cities that are important pilgrimage centres – Varanasi and Sarnath. Varanasi is picturesquely situated on the banks of the holy river Ganges and is perhaps the most ancient living city in India. The holy chants and prayers, the resounding temple bells and the wafting smell of incense gives the city a unique ambience. The Hindu pilgrims carrying out their ritualistic baths and prayers amidst the fluttering saffron clothes on the banks is a sight to behold. Sarnath is a very important pilgrimage centre for Buddhists as Buddha is supposed to have given his first sermon here. Sarnath’s stupas and the spiritual atmosphere are very attractive. Discover more about India’s religious diversity and beliefs on this tour as you visit two of the most important pilgrimage centres in the country.
