Banaras,'the soul of the body'

The world has many places to visit and in the list Banaras is merely one of the place, still here we see tourists not only within India but from all over the world come to visit. Why do they come and many of them revisit the place or some of them permanently live in the city. Few days ago, at ghat when got a chance to interact a group of foreigner have asked why they were here.  Unanimously they all replied, for them the main purpose to visit this place was its enormous and unique ghats, old embankment around. Of course the ghat and maa Ganga have been answered by most of the tourists all the time.

The second most common answer was food or banarasi khana,, yes the food here is not a new thing for many Indian tourist but foreigners come to have a taste all what Banaras offers them to eat, smell, taste or sorry to mention it here but to vomit.

the tourists love the variety which Banaras serves them in their plate, kullad glass or whatever the serving utensils may be, not only food but the place where they get the food like narrow gali or street and the exact serving time of a particular food like Kachaudi and Jalebi in the morning, Mallaio specialty of the winter's morning and Paan almost 24*7. 

The third thing that has been mentioned by the forign tourist was many mandirs or temples of Hindus faith so to know the religion one has to visit and even live for months of month then only he will come closer a bit to the Hinduism.

The fourth very common answer among them was the structure of Varanasi in its whole, its building, its streets, nearby forts, and people .Few of them also named the Sanskrit university and the Hindu university.

                  but one has summed it up like this, she told me that she has been this place twice before and at first she was here to give company to her boyfriend but she found the place so unique in dwelling and also its people, food and way to start and end seemed her so mesmerising she said she had visited second time and visiting this time to feel her soul here, Banaras offer her to herself.
