KASHI VISHWANATH CORRIDOR INAUGRATION DAY - 2021
Varanasi, one of many world’s oldest existing cities, is rightly called the spiritual capital of India. Also called Banaras or Benaras.
Varanasi is considered to have been built by Lord Shiva approximately 5000 years ago. Also, this is one of many twelve Jyotirlingas; the town has always been a centre of religion and spiritualism. The city of Varanasi finds a note in old Hindu religious books and inscriptions like the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, Rigveda amongst others. It is the holy shrine of Lord Kashi Vishwanath, a manifestation of Lord Shiva and was here that Gautam Buddha came to be.
