Introduction

Documented as the oldest living city not only in India but also in the world by the English author Mark Twain, Varanasi, also known as Benares and Kashi is the most sacred place for all the followers of Hinduism. It is a mythological belief that those who die in Varanasi, or those whose final rites are done here, attain salvation (moksha / nirvana) as they are freed from the cycle of birth and re-birth. Also, anyone who takes a dip in the River Ganga in Varanasi is forgiven from all the sins made by that person in his lifetime. Though not a huge town, it is always advisable to book a car rental in Varanasi with Chiku Cab for a hassle free and comfortable journey.
