Many great Philosophers, thinkers and saints walked the steps of these ghats, meditated here and drew inspiration from the holy trinity of Lord Shiva, Divine Ganga and Kashi.                       

The Ganga and its ghats make a beautiful crescent from  Assi ghat to Adikeshav Ghat. The ancient temples of various Gods and Goddesses, engraved palaces and forts of Kings and Queens, monasteries of saints and sages, dharamshalas, and places inhabited by people of all religion are the living testimonials of the rich Indian tradition which shows the city as cosmopolitan, secular and micro globalize India. The picturesque , pastoral setting of the ghats, the mesmerizing dawn and the captivating morning termed as “Subahe Benaras”,  the sparkling of sunbeams during twilight, all these accord the movement for spirituality, meditation, tourism and a synthesis of physical and mental well-being.
