Varanasi, India: The City of Lights | Your Travel Pictures | OutTraveler.com

Thats true, Varanasi has its own charm and the city stands for it's name - The city of lights. One of oldest living cities in the world and with Varanasi`s Prominence in Hindu mythology is virtually unrevealed. Mark Twain, the English author and literature, who was enthralled by the legend and sanctity of Benaras, once wrote : "Benaras is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend and looks twice as old as all of them put together" . According to the ‘Vamana Purana’, the Varuna and the Assi rivers originated from the body of the primordial Person at the beginning of time itself. The tract of land lying between them is believed to be ‘Varanasi’, the holiest of all pilgrimages. To be in Varanasi is an experience in itself…. an experience in self–discovery… an eternal oneness of the body and soul.

Varanasi is pulling it's share of LGBT travelers coming from across the globe, the western culture where life has been so fast since the start, travelers come here and get the chance to connect themselves in this holy city, the people are so hospitable and friendly and accommodations ranges from budget to high end- so every one goes happy.

Let the passionate traveler come out of you, and explore this world!!!
