Varanasi, also known as Kashi, is located on the banks of the river Ganga.
The Ganga is considered to be a goddess in Hinduism and is worshiped by millions of people in India. The river is believed to have the power to cleanse sins and grant moksha (liberation from the cycle of birth and death). Many people come to the river to bathe in its waters, especially at Varanasi, which is considered one of the holiest cities in India.
