On the banks of River Ganges lies the city of Banaras or Varanasi, one of the oldest centres of learning and knowledge known to man.

From the Banarasi saris to the rich musical tradition that resides in the city, there are multiple reasons why Banaras continues to attract people from India and abroad.
