Panchkoshi Yatra

Varanasi has millions of temples dedicated to each Hindu gods & goddesses. You will find temples in each nook & corners of city dedicated to some different god or Lord Shiva. 

This city witnessed thousand years of development in a different form. When we compare Varanasi to any other city of world its unique not because it has all the modern amenities an ancient continuously inhabited city should have. 

The development in Varanasi is devotion, faith, spiritualism & transcendental.




The people here not talk about modernity but the value one propagate has upper hand. One can visit different tea stalls in city in evenings & a calmness prevail in each gesture. 

When we talk about different concrete structure of a city it give a sense of deadliness. 

But Varanasi is alive, it breaths. The paraphernalia of Varanasi is mind boggling. 

One important aspect of this architecture is Panchkoshi Yatra. It's a circumambulation of city itself. Circling sanctum is like reinvigorating the power of that idol situated in the temple. 

Its like revolving of electron to a center. And Panchkoshi Yatra is invigorating the power of city for city's betterment. 

This Yatra is done along the road Panchkoshi in five days representing five elements of human existence. This road only has the most ancient temple architecture intact in city sustaining the wither of history. 

The Karmadeshwar Mahadev temple is of 10th century. Undoubtedly this is the most revered Yatra in Varanasi.
