The walk ends at Varanasi’s Kashi Vishwanath Mandir, which is said to hold the first of the jyotirlingas, the sacred shafts of light in the universe. Come seek the original foundations of the city of light as we traverse winding paths through Shiva’s court!

Walk slowly, exploring Banaras, understanding and admiring, what is believed to be the oldest continuously inhabited city on earth.
