Temples, Poets and Ponds

Temples-Poets-and-Ponds-1

A walk through the mystical landscape of poets, sacred temples and holy ponds near Assi Ghat and Tulsi Ghat, the southernmost embankments of the Ganga in the footsteps of 16th century Varanasi poet and mystic Pandit Tulsi Das who was the author of the Ram Charit Manas, the sacred Ramayana in Hindi. Hear about the history and special culture of Varanasi while visiting the Southern temple established by him and the location of his traditional home! A special darshan, meaning ‘taking sight’ of a hidden sun temple behind his home is mesmerizing. Maybe you too will get the urge to write some sacred verse on the riverside after the walk!
