Dashashwamedh Ghat er den vigtigste ghat og mest spektakulære ghat i Varanasi ved Ganga-floden. To hinduistiske legender er forbundet med det: Ifølge den ene skabte Lord Brahma det for at byde Lord Shiva velkommen. Ifølge en anden legende ofrer Lord Brahma ti heste under Dasa-Ashwmedha-Yajna.
Kedar Ghat i Varanasi. Ghats i Varanasi er trin ved floden, der fører til bredden af floden Ganges
Manikarnika Ghat, den vigtigste brændende ghat, er det mest gunstige sted for en hindu at blive kremeret. Døde kroppe håndteres af udstødte kendt som doms og bliver båret gennem gyderne i den gamle bydel til den hellige Ganges på en bambusbåre, svøbt i stof.
Kashi Vishwanath-templet er et af de mest berømte hinduistiske templer dedikeret til Lord Shiva. Det ligger i Varanasi
Banaras Hindu University er et internationalt anerkendt læringstempel, beliggende i den hellige by Varanasi. Dette kreative og innovative universitet blev grundlagt af den store nationalistiske leder, Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya, i 1916 i samarbejde med store personligheder som Dr. Annie Besant, der så det som University of India. Banaras Hindu University blev oprettet under den parlamentariske lovgivning - B.H.U. Act 1915. Det spillede en stjernerolle i uafhængighedsbevægelsen og har udviklet sig til det største læringscenter i Indien. Det har produceret mange store frihedskæmpere og bygherrer af det moderne Indien og har uhyre bidraget til nationens fremskridt gennem et stort antal anerkendte forskere, kunstnere, videnskabsmænd og teknologer, der har prydet dens portaler. Området på hovedcampus for dette førsteklasses Central University er 1300 acres med velholdte veje, omfattende grønne områder, et tempel, en flyvebane og bygninger, som er en arkitektonisk fornøjelse.
Durga-templet: Durga Mandir blev bygget i det 18. århundrede af Bengali Maharani-Rani Bhabani fra Natore. Templet er dedikeret til gudinden Durga. Ved siden af templet er der en kund (dam), som tidligere var forbundet med floden Ganges. Det menes, at det eksisterende ikon af gudinden ikke blev lavet af en mand, men dukkede op af sig selv i templet.
Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple er et hinduistisk tempel i Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, Indien og er dedikeret til den hinduistiske gud Hanuman. Templet blev etableret af den berømte hinduistiske prædikant og digter helgen Sri Goswami Tulsidas i det tidlige 16. århundrede og ligger på bredden af Assi-floden. Guddommen fik navnet "Sankat Mochan", hvilket betyder "befrieren fra problemer".
Bharat Mata Mandir (som betyder "Moder Indien Temple") er placeret på Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapith campus i Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, Indien. I stedet for traditionelle statuer af guder og gudinder har dette tempel et enormt kort over udelt Indien udskåret i marmor. Dette tempel er dedikeret til Bharat Mata og hævder at være det eneste af sin slags i verden.
Sarnath: Sarnath i Varanasi, er stedet, hvor Buddha valgte at holde sin første prædiken. Det gør Sarnath til et af de mest ærede buddhistiske steder. Udover buddhismen er Sarnath også forbundet med jainismen. Der er mange buddhistiske monumenter og bygningsværker i Sarnath. Nogle af de vigtige buddhistiske monumenter ved Sarnath er Dhamekha-stupaen, Dharmarajika-stupaen og klostre og templer fra forskellige buddhistiske skoler fra Japan, Kina, Thailand, Burma og andre. Mahabodhi-templet i parken har et tandrelikvie fra Buddha. Der er også en stor flade af gamle ruiner ved Sarnath. Adskillige buddhistiske strukturer blev rejst ved Sarnath mellem det 3. århundrede f.Kr. og det 11. århundrede e.Kr., og i dag præsenterer det de mest dyrebare ruiner blandt steder på den buddhistiske sti. Ashokas løvehovedstad ved Sarnath er Indiens nationale emblem, som vises på det arkæologiske museum i Sarnath.
Chaukhandi Stupaen betragtes som et af de mest guddommelige og vigtige monumenter i den buddhistiske kultur.
Dhamek Stupa Sarnath markerer stedet, hvor Buddha prædikede sit første budskab. Bygget af den store Mauryan-konge Ashoka i det 3. århundrede fvt
Dharmarajika Stupa. Det blev bygget over Buddhas relikvier af Ashoka i det 3. århundrede fvt
Ashokas søjler er en række søjler spredt ud over det indiske subkontinent, rejst eller i det mindste indskrevet med edikter af den mauriske kejser Ashoka under hans regeringstid i det 3. århundrede fvt.
Sarnath Museum er det ældste museum for Archaeological Survey of India. Det huser fundene og udgravningerne på det arkæologiske sted Sarnath, udført af Indiens arkæologiske undersøgelse.
Aartis henviser også til de sange, der synges til lovprisning af guddommen, når der ofres lamper. Hinduer i Indien tilbeder floden Ganges som gudinde. Hver aften i Varanasi opføres aarti på Dashashwamedh ghat. Vi kan se det fra ghat eller fra vandet i en båd. Det er et smukt, resonant og majestætisk skue med en meget præcis koreografi, der involverer ritualer udført af flere præster med lyden af klokker, trommer, bækkener og sanskritmantraer. Floden er også tilbedt med blomsterblade.

We did a beautiful half day tour with Vinod. The experience was great. From the storytelling to the sites, Vinod led us through the Ghats and the narrow streets of Varanasi sharing his deep knowledge of the city and his passion. After walking and experiencing the city extensively, Ganga Aarti was the apex of the whole experience. We attended it from a reserved high seat (300 Rs pp) that allowed us to fully enjoy the ceremony at its best away from the crowd. A deep and mystical moment that we'll remember forever. Vinod was always kind and caring about our needs and we feel blessed to have had this experience with him.
We had an excellent experience with the booking and tour guide. Indrajeet Ji provided all the support since we booked including taxi and guide services. He kept us informed all along with changing conditions and weather - very professional and punctual. Vinod Ji was our guide and he was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and helped us during our stay at Varanasi with all darshans and ensured us we had a seamless experience. The taxi drivers were very reliable, safe and punctual. They also provided services to us at Ayodhya including taxi from Ayodhya to Varanasi. We travelled with family and had an excellent experience. Strongly recommend their services for bookings, taxi and guide.
Indrajeet with Varanasi Day Tours was the most incredible guide ever. He took us to the main temple and many other sites including a ride on the Ganges.

We had a great experience with Varanasi Day Tours and the morning boat ride. Great communication with Indrajeet before the day of the tour, who was also super flexible to change the schedule as our flight was delayed for several hours. The guide was super nice and knowledgeable as well.

My Aunt and I spent some time in India in October/November 2019, one of our favorite places visited was Varanasi. The city of Varanasi gives a feeling that is unexplainable...but our guide, Jai Prakash Mishra, helped to elevate our experience to another level! He was knowledgeable, funny, kind and accommodating! In the evening he took us through the old city to learn about it's history and culture, and to see the different stores, then we went to the Ganges to view the evening ceremony, which was nothing short of incredible! He went out his way to help us find items that we wanted to purchase, which wasn't easy. The next morning he accompanied us on the boat ride along the ganges to see the various activities occurring along the river, including the prayers and cremations. He was hands down one of our best guides during our time in India! Thanks so much JP...may we meet again in Varanasi!

I spent a day and a half in Varanasi with my guide Akash. We walked the small lanes and got to see the daily lives of the locals. Akash even arranged an excellent seat for me at the evening Arti and I got to snap quite a few good shots. What I was most impressed with was his knowledge of the city, its customs and its history and will definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a guide in Varanasi.

Varanasi is folded in layers and layers. Hence, very first moment to be on Ganga Ghat is mesmerising with the sense of being rooted to this land. A whole city is like a live museum that has preserved centuries within and living heritage of traditions, culture and human science. I have spared 5 full days to cover all the aspects of Varanasi to inhale and absorb an essence of the gorgeous place on this planet. My hotel did recommended a guide named Prasann, I met him to discuss my way of exploring Varanasi. Over a small conversation Prasann did acknowledged my interests and intentions to assure me that he is the one who can take me accordingly. Since then he has been proactively informative, flexible and friendly throughout to me and my 11 year young boy, who’s expectations were different than mine. Prasann has offered 2 sessions of a few hours to attend my specifications that has helped me to catch insight of Varanasi. We had non-stop interaction during the tour and Prasann was highly approachable for anything related to Varanasi. Most of the locals I met are extremely friendly and talkative.
