Explore Sacredness of Banaras with Car on Rent in Varanasi

 


Mythology plays an important role in Hinduism, devotees seek blessings from gods and goddesses by travelling to different holy places across India. Varanasi, Kashi or Banaras is one such place that was created by Lord Shiva, and the first jyotirlinga (a fiery pillar of light that broke through the crust of the earth) appeared there. So is there a presence of Shiva in Kashi, does lord Shiva really take care of Banarsis?

 

These questions often arise when you hear about Varanasi, and this can be experienced only by exploring Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Dasasmedhwa Ghat, Manikarnika and other ghats. The best way to explore Kashi is to get a car on rent in Varanasi. In this blog, we will discover some sacred places, their history and mythological importance.

 

Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple

 

Varanasi gets its identification from this temple only. However, the story behind the existence of this temple is recorded in historical books and is debatable. It is said the temple was built 2500 years ago by Raja Vikramaditya, but the temple has been invaded and rebuilt many times. Today’s layout of the temple is far different from its original one. The story of Kashi is archived as Lord Shiva dug a trench near today’s temple, to create a sacred space filled with life-giving water. 

 

However, this beautiful temple offers more than what you will read anywhere. So, now are you interested in visiting this place? Get a car on rent in Varanasi to reach this place smoothly.

 

Manikarnika Ghat

 

Nestled along the river Ganges, Manikarnika Ghat is more than a ghat and said that it’s a poignant window into life’s final journey. Being one of the most significant and busiest ghats, it houses an eternal fire, and it is said that this fire has blazed since ancient times, serving as an open crematorium for Hindus.

 

There are 84 ghats in Varanasi, and it is believed that if life starts at Dasaswamedh Ghat, then it ends at Manikarnika Ghat. The name of Manikarnika came when the “Mani” of Shiva and “Karnika” of Parvati while bathing in kund, slipped off and fell in it. The decision of Shiva to retain the responsibility of granting salvation is evident in the broader perspective presented in Manikarnika.

 

Varanasi is a place where you should spend at least 4 to 5 days, and explore & learn as many things about it, as you will get a divine feeling. Moreover, you can choose a car to rent in Varanasi to explore the city.
