Varanasi - A City of Spirituality, Art & Ghats

The city illuminates truth and reveals reality. It does not bring new wonders into the scope of vision, but enables one to see what is already there. Where the eternal light intersects the Earth, it is known as Kashi”. The synopsis of the city put forward beautifully, one may call it varanasi, banaras and kashi the city has a calling for each. What drove me to the city is my deep rooted sync with Lord Shiva or Kashi vishwanath as one may call it.

It is one of the seven sacred spots for the Hindus.

Varanasi is located in the south eastern part of the state of Uttar Pradesh well connected by rail, air road to all the major cities of the country. The city is set on the bank of the river Ganga which the holiest river for the Hindu community. From the capital of the country Delhi, it is 820 Km via NH 19 which is approximately a 13 hour drive. If one is travelling from any other city, the information is readily available on the website. The best time to visit the mystical city is from November to February, during the winter season wherein one may walk around the city without feeling exhausted. The average temperature during winter is 5 degree Celsius.

Varanasi, is undoubtedly inhabits the oldest civilization of the world. Varanasi exhibits a unique combination of Spirituality, Art and its world famous Ghats. It is believed to be the centre to attain Moksh or Salvation.  It is this combination that has a magnetic pull for tourist both domestic and International. To put in a nut shell one can experience the serenity of river Ganga, the chanting of Mantras, innumerable temples, the ghats and the Ashrams not to mention the fragrance of various incenses.  Its civilization dates back to 2000 BCE and has been continuously inhabited since then.

It was famous for the production of perfumes, Ivory works, sculpture and fabrics. The banarasi silk still rules the heart of every Indian woman and equally captivates the international tourist.

Varanasi has a significant importance to Hindus because it is believed that Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati stood when time started ticking for the first time. Kashi Vishwanath Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva.  Along with Kashi Vishwanath temple there are other temples such as Durga Temple, Sankatmochan Temple, and Bharat Mata Temple which is dedicated to Bharat Mata. It has a relief map of India carved in Marble. The famous Ramcharitramanas was composed by Goswami Tulsidas in Varanasi. The soil is blessed with feet of Buddha who gave lecture on the first turning of the Wheel of Dharma during 528 BCE.

During the varanasi tour here are a few things you can consider. stroll on the ghats, witness a cremation, take a boat ride at sunrise along the holy Ganga. sunrise and sunset aarti, ramnagar fort and meuseum, banaras university, sarnath trip.

As we all know varanasi is famous for the ghats, simply by walking alongside one will get a glimpse of all the religious activities. Dashashwamedh ghat  is the main and the busiest ghat. Assi ghat and Kedar ghat are also equally intresting.

Cremation by burning the body is an ritual performed by the hindus and yes it is the most intruiging part of the tour to varanasi. The pyre burns almost 24 by 7 at manikarnika ghat and harishchandra ghat. Witnessing a burning body aquaints you to the basic fact that after death body is reduced to ash  hence learn to be humble and lead a simple yet inspirational life. Burning of body is scientifically the most hygienic way to dispose the body.

Nothing is more enchanting than watching the sunrise while taking a boat ride in the holy river. The boat ride cost nothing more than 150-200 (INR) and ensure to bargain as they will quote a very high price. While taking a ride one will notice the ritual of life and death being performed on the same ghat. You will also see small shrines which can a quite a sight.

India 2017: Golden Triangle

It had always been my dream to go to India. I did not know when and how would I be prepared to go on this trip (because had already read a lot about India and knew it would be a heavier ride with a mixture of wonder and sorrow) but it was a really wanted to make trip. And when the opportunity arose, soon after the change of a chapter in my life. I wanted to get to know the Golden Triangle and visit Varanasi to get to know India’s religious traditions better.

Making the Golden Triangle in India is the most classic trip we can make in this country – and the most practical too! In just nine days we can explore the wonders of New Delhi, Agra and Jaipur and get to know some of the most stunning monuments in India and the world.

A trip to India can be made in many different ways, but there is always a moment that is common to all: cultural shock. Because the way of living in India is even completely different than anywhere else in the world. From the deeper issues such as the caste system that places each person in a very limited social stratum, to more mundane issues such as the fact that to say “yes” we should not nod, but shake it aside, India is a world apart. And only by visiting this wonderful country can you see how this culture shock is so challenging yet so interesting at the same time.

New Delhi

New Delhi is a cosmopolitan capital like many others around the world – breathtaking government buildings, wide, immaculate avenues (but always full of traffic) and all the comforts of the modern world. It is in Old Delhi, in the old part of the city, that we can feel the spirit of India in its purest form: street food, crowds of people and restless shopkeepers. A vision to leave us with our mouths open and eyes to shine.

There are many tributes to Gandhi scattered throughout New Delhi and India, but if you only have time to visit one of them, then let it be this. It is here that we can get to know a little more about the life of this great peace activist, as well as, visit some of his rooms, preserved as he left them, and the place where he was assassinated in January of 1948 when he was on his way to the garden to do the prayers in the morning.

Varanasi

Located on the banks of the Ganges River, the city of Varanasi is one of the oldest in the world and has a population of 3 million. The city is typically Indian, with traders, animals, chaotic transit and has a large religious manifestation, in the Ganges River it is possible to witness some of the religious rituals of the population.

Varanasi is the holiest city in India. Legends of the Hindus say that the city was founded by Shiva, the god of destruction and transformation. Known by the Indians as Benares or Kashi, Varanasi is the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. There are about 3,200 years of the same civilization in the same place. It must be because they have been there for millennia that they do not get lost in the narrow, winding streets that make any stranger feel in an endless labyrinth.

Viewed as the heart of the Hindu universe, Varanasi is the meeting of the physical and spiritual world, and all religiosity converges to the Ganges River, called by the Ganga. The Ganges is born in the Himalayas, Indian territory, clean and pure, but as the water moves along the route of more than 2,500 kilometres to the Bay of Bengal, among densely populated cities, is increasingly polluted. Years ago, a number of faecal coliforms in Ganges water it was more than a thousand times greater than that considered appropriate (500 for every 100 ml of water), but nowadays it is only 120 times greater.

Many Indians go to the city to die. That’s right, they believe that whoever dies in Varanasi is freed from Moksha, which is the endless cycle of death and rebirth. And the best place in town to die for is the Ganges River, the sacred river, so on the bank there are several ghats, some exclusive for cremation of bodies. Walking along the shore is easy to witness a cremation ceremony. The price of cremation is calculated by the weight and type of wood used, with sandal being the most expensive. The ashes of the cremates and the bodies of those who did not have enough money for the ceremony are thrown into the river.

Varanasi is definitely a must destination for all trips to India. The city is not beautiful, but the culture and customs you can see there are fascinating, completely different. On the bank, huge and detailed buildings that now serve as hotels were palaces of Maharajas centuries ago. One of the highlights is to observe the holy men (Sadhus), who have abdicated the material world and live to pray and to meditate. There are also a few false sadhus, who have ‘abdicated’ material possessions to solicit donations from tourists. Among them, there are also workers, who use the Ganges as a laundry room and then extend the sáris and sheets (of the hotels!) On the steps of the bank. At a ‘private’ moment (among hundreds of people) the pilgrims bathe in the river to purify themselves. Children play in the water, students draw the landscape, some fish. The Ganges River is the most polluted river in the world, but you can still see beauty in it.

Agra

Known by the Taj Mahal, the city of Agra is situated on the banks of the Yamuna River and has more than one million inhabitants. The Taj Mahal is a mausoleum built in honour of Emperor Shan Jahan’s favourite wife. She died after giving birth to her 14th child and the sumptuous building was erected on her grave. A product of the love of an emperor and the strength of more than 20 thousand men, the wonder of the world dates from 1632 and charms tourists with its approximately 40 tons of gold.

Jaipur

Poverty is a strong feature in this city. However, the difficulties marked in the population two characteristics: simplicity and hospitality. They find in the faith of their religions and in selling handicrafts and food the means to survive. Every day, at the end of the afternoon, religious prayers are given in the streets of the city and in the temples. If you want to get smiles from the Indian people, start a greeting or talk with a Namaste.

Ram Temple movement erected a big tent

The project to ensure India's emergence as an Indic civilizational-rooted modern state will come undone if lumpen anti-intellectualism continues.

Happenstance, perhaps, but as we approach the 25th anniversary of the Ayodhya Demolition on December 6, I received a phone call from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), informing me that my deposition as a witness is overdue before the CBI Special Court in Lucknow where the case on the “criminal conspiracy” aspect of the demolition is being heard. It brought home to me, apart from the reality that I’m no longer a tyro 20-year-old political reporter for a national newspaper (not The Pioneer) who was the first in and among the last out of Ayodhya in November-December 1992, that many a political fortune has turned over this passage of time. But the discourse against the Ram Temple continues — tired, regurgitative and banal in the main.

So, I start by paying tribute to LK Advani, whose 90th birthday was last week. Not because I necessarily agree with everything he has said, done, or stood for but as an exemplar of probity in public life and as the arch-disrupter of public discourse who raised the political issue of the Ram Temple as a symbol of national and not denominational pride. Ever since the late 1980s, Advani has earned the undying viciousness of the Commentariat for his politics which made it possible for new thinking on the nature of our nationhood and the agency of nationalism — an Idea of India, in Mickey Mouse terms — to emerge.

Till Advani’s intervention in the political sphere with the Ram Temple issue as a symbol of civilizational/cultural India in the manner he did, the dominant post-colonial narrative was statist, derivate and located in a Semitic-originated Abrahamic religious tradition-infused cultural consciousness, pushed especially vociferously by the post-Nehru Indian power elite via their academic co-travellers presumably in good faith (no sarcasm intended). To be fair, though, the latter did produce some high quality traditional academic output in the social sciences. The Ayodhya movement, however, came at a time when two key concepts in academic-public discourse found resonance among those who retained a degree of intellectual curiosity and were willing to incorporate lived experiences and oral histories along with critical readings of extant literature on culture, community, caste et.al into original scholarship as opposed to being confined to the knowledge claims made by Western social “science” which in themselves were not unproblematic, an aspect brought out in his ground-breaking work by the philosopher SN Balagangadhara, a major voice in the study of the cultural differences between India and the West who has developed his own research programme devoted to it.

First, was Advani’s assertion that the Ram Temple movement was intrinsic to the notion of an Indian exceptionalism, in a value-neutral sense, which is to say, not better or worse than others but, like the ketchup advertisement, “different”. Seizing the opportunity thus provided, some Hindutvawadis pushed the cultural nationalism thesis and others the Hindu Rashtra (as a cultural concept and/or a theocratic state depending on their provenance) while Sangh Parivar elements tagged to the Ram Temple the demand for a Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple in Mathura and the restoration of the Kashi Vishwanath Temple to achieve closure once and for all on the festering wound of “40,000 temples destroyed over 800 years”. A minority, as is historically evident with vanguards, if you will, ploughed more or less co-terminus with Advani’s intervention its own lonely furrow in the academic project of addressing the conceptually problematic issues with post-colonial studies, India studies and Indology as practiced till then, an effort in which Balagangadhara played the pivotal role as at the heart of his work is the proposition that research objects cannot escape from the scope of a secularized Christian discourse.

Secondly, allied to the notion of an Indian exceptionalism, came the very welcome propagation post-1992 by sober voices from the Sangh of what is in effect the notion of “folk multiculturalism” as a means of accommodative nation-building. This translated on the ground into celebrating differences in language, food, dress, music and mode of worship but drawing a line at separate and/or exclusive legal rights for any group whether religious, cultural, linguistic or other, and campaigning for a single, uniform civil and criminal legal framework that has at its core the individual rights of every Indian citizen. There was a reason, it must be remembered, why by the early 1990s Advani’s stand against what he termed “minority appeasement”, freighted as it was to the Ram Temple movement, gained such traction. For, the contours of a de facto differential citizenship model had begun to emerge in India which may have irrevocably damaged not just the Indic civilizational trajectory but also threatened to muscle the way of life of an overwhelming majority of the people of India into becoming just another “religion”.

As a modern state in the making, however, there is no running away from the demographic fact that millions of Indians do follow non-Indic religions and have a Constitutional right to do so freely. Which is why propagating a robust folk multiculturalism simultaneously with a Uniform Civil Code became part of the national conversation sparked by the Ram Temple movement, which was, let’s not forget, symbolic in more ways than one. These solutions are never ideal, of course, but as the political philosopher Joseph Raz put it rather pithily: “Conflict is endemic to value pluralism in all its forms”. We can at best hope to manage such conflicts in the most reasonable manner possible.

It was, thus, the proverbial ideological big tent that Advani’s political intervention with the Ram Temple issue ended up erecting. But the criminal-lumpen and anti-intellectual element within is threatening to derail the project — whether it is louts threatening bodily harm to actor Deepika Padukone today or those in the Ram Temple movement who threatened, and in some cases inflicted, brutality and violence against fellow citizens who happened to be Muslims 25 years ago, or indeed those who have internalised a Western social sciences’ predicated view of India’s past and are busy creating their own “Hindu” version of a Biblical/Koranic history.

To quote Balagangadhara who, ironically, has in an online academic publication been identified by historian Shalini Sharma as being at the centre of the “resurgence of all (nationalist) historical revisionism” post the 1992 Ayodhya events and is alleged to have the Modi Government’s ear: “The ideologues of the Sangh Parivar might do what centuries of colonialism tried but could not accomplish: Destroy Indian culture and her traditions irreplaceably and irrevocably. They might do that while truly believing that they are ‘saving’ Indian culture and her traditions.”

Back to Ayodhya, and not to Methuselah, ought to be the rallying cry.
