There are many interesting temples in Varanasi and each one speaks its own story. Durga symbolises power and the Durga Temple is a favourite among the devotees. A characteristic feature of the Durga Temple is the profusion of monkeys, which has given the temple a not so gratifying title of Monkey Temple. The Bharat Mata temple is another unique temple dedicated to the nation. It evokes a sense of unity among the Indian tourists and reflects the diverse and rich cultural heritage of the country. The Tulsi Manas Temple is dedicated to Lord Rama. The other important temples of the city are the Kashi Vishwanath Temple and the Sankat Mochan Temple.
Also known as the Golden Temple, it is dedicated to Lord shiva, the presiding deity of the city. Varanasi is Said to be the point at which the first jyotirlinga, the fiery pillar of light by which shiva manifested has supremacy over others gods, broke through the Earth’s crust and flared towards the heavens. More than the Gaths and even the Ganga, the Shivalinga installed in the temple remains the devotional focus of Varanasi

On your India to Varanasi you can not only partake of the unique experience of seeing all this happening in the ghats of Varanasi but also actively participate in them. The air reverberates with the chants of the Sanskrit slokas and as one offers prayers the mind is filled with a certain serene calm which makes one think that he or she has been partly cleansed of his sins and purified. The ghats do have a quaint charm that is simply not explicable in words. It can only be savored on Tours to Varanasi. One can have the best view of these ghats when enjoying boat rides in the middle of the Ganges.
On India Tours to Varanasi do make sure to visit the temples in Varanasi. The gold plated spire on the Vishwanath Temple is sure to impress any onlooker. The architectural features of some of the others are also quite admirable. A few of the monuments in Varanasi also deserve to be a part of your sight seeing trip. And do make sure to keep some time reserved for visits to the museums which house a very interesting collection of arts and artifacts and for shopping so that you can buy some exquisitely beautiful Benarasi saris.
