varanasi is a place to visit and revisit:
visiting the city is a totally different experience, the ghats and typical "chai stalls" becomes a perfect spot for artists or writers to hangout, look for quiet time or good conversation among like minded people. this place is referred to as "the city of temples", "the holy city of India", "the religious capital of India", "the city of lights", and "the city of learning. the city has 4 very popular universities : Banaras Hindu UniversityMahatma Gandhi Kashi VidyapeethCentral Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies and Sampurnanand Sanskrit University
varanasi or banaras is an old, traditionally rich city. American writer Mark Twain wrote: "Benares is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together."
