The main deity is known by the name Shri Vishwanath and also by the ancient name of deity Vishweshwara ( Vishveshvara literally means Ruler of the Universe. Varanasi city is also called Kashi in ancient time, and hence the Temple is popularly called as Kashi Vishwanath Temple. Etymology of the name Vishveshvara is Vishva: Universe, Isha: Lord; Vara: Excellent means Supreme Lord of the Universe the Parabrahman or Parameshwara as its synonyms.

Dashashwamedh Ghat is the main ghat in Varanasi on the Ganga River. It is located close to Vishwanath Temple and is probably the most spectacular ghat. Two Hindu legends are associated with it: According to one, Lord Brahma created it to welcome Lord Shiva. According to another legend, Lord Brahma sacrificed ten horses during Dasa-Ashwamedha yajna performed here. A boat ride from this Ghat is a lifetime experience for one and all.

Manikarnika Ghat is one of the holiest cremation grounds among the sacred river fronts (ghats), alongside the river Ganga. In Hinduism, death is considered as a gateway to another life marked by the results of one's karma. It is believed that a dead human's soul attains moksha, and hence breaks the cycle of rebirth when cremated here. Thus, scores of the elderly across the whole country seek to walk up to its edges, and spend their last days absorbing the charisma of the ghat making death painless and insignificant to be pondered upon. Its believed that the fire from funeral has never stopped here since thousands of years of its origin. This Ghat is seen during the morning boat ride you may request your Boatman to make a Photostop, however it is not the standard part of the tour to stop.

It was a great experience. Our Guide very knowledgeable and our Pick up driver were very good. Unsure we got what we paid for ? I was expecting our boat to look the same as Viator has pictured on their site for this tour, our boat looked nothing like it. Viator tour says Local Breakfast included ? No breakfast supplied. I did contact the company and they said No Local Breakfast Included , but clearly in my voucher , definitely some misunderstanding here between Viator & Tour Operators As I said unsure what I paid for and not 100% you get what you pay for.
