The Untold Story Of Kashi

Interestingly, Lord Shiva, who manifested in the form of a fiery pillar to prove his might, split the earth's surface and flashed up to the skies. A segment of this dynamic light manifested in Jyotirlingams in twelve different sites. And Kashi is one of them. 

Here, Lord Shiva is hailed as Vishwanath or The Lord the Universe and Vishveshvara (Vishwa Ishwara), the God of the Universe. And this boundless beam of light symbolizes the infinite nature of Lord Shiva and his might. 

Moreover, Kashi is believed to be the oldest surviving city globally! Besides the magnificent temple, the Ganga aarti conducted at the adjacent Dashahwamedha Ghat attracts thousands of visitors. And the same holds true for the other shrines and ghats in the city known for its spiritual leanings..
