HERITAGE TOUR IN VARANASI

Unique Banaras tour package is a collection of unique places in Varanasi. There are several things which are not possible to find elsewhere on the planet we live. We have identified a few unique places and are offering their visit in a package.

Road Side Dental Clinic: What does a doctor mean to you? The person who has spent so many year studying medicine at a college? If this the only definition of a doctor for you then you might be wrong. There is a road side dental clinic where doctor, who is known as Baba ji, amongst locals is seen doing his business every day. Let’s explore this unique dental clinic from Unique Banaras.

The Bull Shop: Banaras is the city of Lord Shiva and bulls are considered to be his vehicle. There are bulls everywhere in the city, wandering around, blocking the traffic and enjoying themselves. The Bulls are highly respected by locals because of their connection with the Lord Shiva. This particular shop is a really good place to understand the importance of bulls in Varanasi as they host a bull all the time in their shop. Shopping with Bulls, not unique?

Meeting with Facebook Baba: Banaras is the place of Sadhus, Aghoris, Naga Babas, Sanyasis… when people think about them they think about people who spend all of their time meditating, chanting, repeating mantras… but have you ever thought of a Baba who spends at least 14 hours a day on Internet chatting with his friends from all over the world and teaching them about Hindu religion? If not then lets meet with Lali Baba who is popular as Facebook Baba, has a website and speaks English as well. Lali Baba loves talking about how he is smarter than other Sadhus by having adopted technology to enlighten himself.

Gurukul Visit: This is the tradition of Varanasi that disciple comes to Gurukul in Kashi for studying Sanskrit and then they become priest or acharya or Spiritual  guru but this is the place where learn about the Hindu religion , Veda, Ramayana , Geeta and many more. So we will take you to the some the ashram of Varanasi where you can see the life of the young priest and their activities such as evening sandhya and mourning which can be still seen and they come all the way from the different states of India.

Kashi Labh Mukti Bhawan: Banaras is most probably the only place on the planet where thousands of people move every year to die. Kashi Labh Mukti Bhawan in Banaras is one the ashrams which houses such people wanting to die in order to get salvation. Mukti Bhavan provides accommodation to those who wish to breathe their last in Varanasi. Sounds strange, doesn’t it ? The fact that 15,000-odd people have died at Mukti Bhavan ever since its inception might help you grasp the reality of this phenomenon. Hindus believe that the one who dies in Varanasi attains moksha, or salvation. Dying in Varanasi is believed to help the soul break out of the endless cycle of birth and death. Though these beliefs are highly debatable, every year, hordes of believers flock to this holy city, hoping to attain redemption in death here. Most of these are old, retired people who are expecting death and wish to embrace it in the holy land of Kashi (Varanasi)

Saint Ravidas Temple: Banaras is the birth place of Sant Ravidas, the Saint who is known for being the first one who raised his voice against the idea of unaccountability and discrimination on the basis of caste. The real casteism is completely different than what is practiced nowadays in India. Let’s visit the temple, the birth place of Saint Ravidas, and talk about the reality of caste system.
