Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh): Varanasi, one of the oldest cities in the world, is located in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh and is regarded as the spiritual capital of India. It is one of the holiest cities for Hindus, known for its temples, ghats on the River Ganges, and rich cultural traditions. The city is home to the famous Kashi Vishwanath Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, which attracts millions of pilgrims each year. Varanasi is also a major center for classical music, dance, and learning, with renowned institutions like Banaras Hindu University (BHU).
