  • Enjoy the Ganga Aarti at Dusk

 


At quarter to seven, every evening, a drastic transformation takes place at the Dasawamedh Ghat! Heavy brass lamps, echoing of spiritual texts and chants, and a huge gathered crowd all with sincerity praying to the River Ganga. It is a mesmerizing scene that just has to be experienced. Dark clouds hovering in the sky light up magically when the brass lamps are rotated by the priest’s in sync wearing synchronized aesthetic wear. To capture this memory on your camera, book a boat ride during the Aarti time, and you have a sight to capture! A car rental in Varanasi with Chiku Cab will ensure you reach the river on time.

  • Sunrise Boat Ride in The River Ganga

 


If you are an early-riser, the best thing you can do in Varanasi is book a boat ride early morning at about 5:30 am. The climate is suitable at that time, and you can row through the rivers passing through every ghat closely and observing the scenic beauty of nature and the spiritual side of Hinduism. It is common to see saints and pilgrims bathing in the river during your ride. The overall all-encompassing view of Varanasi can be captured during this ride.

  • Learn More About the Temples

 


If there is anything that can be found in Varanasi’s every nook and corner, then it is a temple. Small temples are worshipped on a daily basis by commoners, while the bigger ones are worshipped by the priest. The most famous temple in Varanasi is the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, which is a shrine for the devotional replica of Lord Shiva. Just praying is not something done here. There are people from all over the world learning Indian architecture and heritage here. The style most followed in these temples’ architecture is the Nagara Style. You can go from temple to temple with a car hire in Varanasi with Chiku Cab.

  • Take A Dip in The Ganges


 

According to Hindu mythological tales and scriptures, River Ganga is the holiest river of all. It is a well-known tale that taking a dip in the water of the Ganges will erase all the sins you have committed in this as well as the past birth. The River Ganga has a total of 84 Ghats, whose all steps lead to the river. Just as superstition or a spiritual know-how, try dipping at least once in Ganga.

  • Travel and Understand More About the Ghats


 

The 84 Ghats at Varanasi all lead to the River Ganga. They are used as places for bathing, funeral pyre burning, reciting holy verses, etc., for people all around. If not all the Ghats, try visiting the Manikarnika Ghat, Assi Ghat, Dasashwamedh Ghat, and Harishchaandra Ghat. There are a lot of mythological stories behind the making of these ghats, which can be heard from the storyteller sadhus sitting on those ghats.
