From the series Benaras: 24 hours. Surya Puja
Varanasi or Benaras, also known as kashi, is one of the oldest living cities in the world. Benaras’s prominence in hindu mythology is virtually unrevealed. According to the “Vamana Purana”, the Varuna and Assi rivers originated from the body of primordial Person at the beginning of time itself. The tract of land lying between them is believed to be, “Varanasi”, the holiest of all pilgrimages.
