Summary Varanasi - The City of Light Bathing in the Ganges is one of the life goals of every devout Hindu. If this happens in Kashi, the mythical place of the Hindus, the "turntable between heaven and earth", then it is, so to speak, an express lift from the eternal cycle of rebirth. We are in India, in Varanasi, the old holy city on the Ganges, about which Mark Twain once wrote: "It is older than history, older than tradition, and even older than any legend. Varanasi is the "beginning and end" of the Hindu circle of life. Old souls are born here for the last time. Those who let themselves be burned here go the "one-way street" into the Olympus of the Hindu world of gods. Sadhus, self-proclaimed mendicant monks, descendants of all Maharajas and masters of ceremonies belong to the everyday street scene of the city at the Ganges. Varanasi is the "mother of all rivers". When she is no longer, according to legend, the gods lose their strength.
