Varanasi: Witnessing Life and Death on the Ganges

A spiritual guide to India's oldest living city, featuring the evening Aarti, ancient ghats, and hidden temples.

Varanasi Spiritual Tour by Royal Indian Voyage | The Eternal City of India

Experience India’s spiritual soul with Royal Indian Voyage, a trusted tours and travels company offering curated pilgrimage, heritage, and cultural journeys across India.

🕉️ The Eternal City

Varanasi, also known as Kashi, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Walking along its sacred ghats feels like stepping into living history. The spiritual energy is unmistakable—from the chanting of mantras at sunrise to the eternal flames of Manikarnika Ghat, symbolizing the cycle of life and death.

Royal Indian Voyage includes guided ghat walks that help travelers understand the deep philosophical and cultural significance of this sacred city.

🔥 The Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat

Every evening, Dashashwamedh Ghat hosts the iconic Ganga Aarti, one of India’s most mesmerizing spiritual ceremonies. Priests perform synchronized rituals using fire lamps, incense, conch shells, and rhythmic Vedic chants to honor the holy River Ganges.

This soul-stirring experience attracts pilgrims and travelers from across the world. Royal Indian Voyage recommends arriving early or witnessing the ceremony from a boat on the Ganges for an unobstructed and unforgettable view.

🛕 Exploring the Galis (Alleys) of Varanasi

The true essence of Varanasi reveals itself in its narrow galis (alleys). Wander through the maze around the Kashi Vishwanath Temple to discover hidden shrines, centuries-old silk weaving workshops, and traditional Banarasi craftsmanship.

Don’t miss tasting the legendary Blue Lassi, a local favorite. The sensory overload, vibrant chaos, and spiritual undertones make these alleys a highlight of Royal Indian Voyage’s heritage walking tours.

🧭 Visitor Guidelines for Varanasi

  • Respect: Photography is strictly prohibited at cremation ghats such as Manikarnika Ghat.
  • Boat Rides: A sunrise boat ride on the Ganges offers the most authentic view of daily rituals and morning prayers.
  • Scams: Avoid unofficial guides and touts offering “special” temple access—Royal Indian Voyage uses only licensed local experts.
