Ganga Aarti, Varanasi
Varanasi is said to be one of the oldest places in the world. It is part of the Sapt Puri, the seven holiest cities in India, which includes Ayodhya, Mathura, Haridwar, Kanchipuram, Ujjain and Dwarka. According to Hindu mythology, Varanasi was established by Lord Shiva himself. When a fight broke out between Shiva and Brahma, Shiva cut off one of the five heads of Brahma. To show his victory to the world, Shiva carried the decapitated head in his hand. He even put a bridle in its mouth, disrespecting Brahma. When Shiva reached the city that we now call Varanasi, the head fell from his hand and disappeared into the ground. Since then, Varanasi has stayed in one of the holiest cities for Hindus in India.
At present, this city is also the spiritual capital in India where attending the Ganga Aarti of Varanasi is a must. The aarti is the reason why thousands of people visit the city every day. The 45-minute aarti at sunset offers an otherworldly experience. It takes you on a journey and you are never the same after watching it for the first time.
Tips for Watching Visiting Varanasi and Watching Ganga Aarti
Out of the all spiritual places in Varanasi, you must visit Dashashwamedh Ghat for Ganga Aarti and Assi Ghat for Subah-E-Banaras.
Both of these aartis are free of cost, although you will be asked to make an offering in the evening aarti. This is, however, not compulsory. You can also make an offering of whichever amount you can afford.
For the evening aarti, it is recommended to arrive at least an hour before it starts. The ghat will get very crowded very easily. If you want to find the best spot, you will have to prepare in advance and visit the ghat before everyone else.
There is no rush for the morning aarti. But it is recommended that you experience the Subah-E-Banaras in the entirety. It would be best, in that case, to sleep early so you can wake up refreshed and on time to attend the Subah-E-Banaras from the very second it starts.
Dashashwamedh Ghat is the most crowded of all ghats in Varanasi. Keep an extra eye out for your belongings.
