During a fight between Brahma and Shiva, one of Brahma's five heads was torn off by Shiva. As was the custom, the victor carried the slain adversary's head in his hand and let it hang down from his hand as an act of ignominy, and a sign of his own bravery. A bridle was also put into the mouth. Shiva thus dishonoured Brahma's head, and kept it with him at all times. When he came to the city of Varanasi in this state, the hanging head of Brahma dropped from Shiva's hand and disappeared in the ground. Varanasi is therefore considered an extremely holy site. Varanasi has been a symbol of Hindu renaissance, knowledge philosophy, culture, devotion to Gods, Indian arts ad crafts have all flourished here for centuries. Varansai is associated with promotion of spiritualism, mysticism, Sanskrit, Yoga and Hindi language.

Dasadwamedh Ghat – The Dashashwamedh Ghat is the main and probably the oldest ghat of Varanasi located on the Ganges. It is located close to Vishwanath Temple and is probably the most spectacular ghat. It is believed that Brahma created this ghat to welcome Shiva and sacrificed ten horses during the Dasa-Ashwamedha yajna performed there.

SARNATH – Sarnath is a place 10 KM north-east of Varanasi near the Ganges and the Varuna rivers in Uttar Pradesh India. The city is mentioned by the Buddha as one of the four places of pilgrimage to which his devout followers should visit.

Fantastic Varanasi tour hosted by Volunteering with India , it was my
first visit I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the services were
too good. The train journey to Varanasi from Delhi was good with
good neat hotel. A city tour of Varanasi very beautiful and there is so
many temples at the banks of river ganga. I did buy some stuffs for
my lovely daughter. During the tour I decided to book 1 week
Women empowerment volunteering program. This program is very
good and I got the chance to meet girls and women at the center.
Women at the center they taught me some swing work. Over all
experienced was good.

This is an Excellent Organization that planned our tour to Varanasi.
They provided great coordination and immediate response. The head
of the Organization Mr Sukret planned the whole visit extremely well.
Hotel was very neat and clean also the bed was very comfortable and
the Guide was very good. Early morning 2 hours boat ride and local
market visit were excellent. During the tour booking I had also
booked 2 weeks Street children program with them. After the tour I
have joined the program, it was outstanding I really enjoyed my time
at the center with the children. All the children were cute and
innocent and they were very young. Best part I taught them English
and Math with help of program coordinator and teacher at the
center. I really loved both programs.

I read of Varanasi Excursions and their tours of Varanasi. I contacted
them and asked to booked 3 nights 4 days tours. I’ve been to India 2
times previously but this time my experience was amazing with
Volunteering with India. The tour proceeded wonderfully. The guide
was knowledgeable, friendly. Early morning boat cruise was best part
of this tour. Hotel bed was very comfortable. My experience with
Varanasi Excursions was wonderful, and I would definitely use them
again.
