By Bharat travel guideIn the ancient holy city of Kashi (Varanasi), Durga Puja takes on an ethereal, transcendent spiritual aura. In the narrow, winding lanes of Bengali Tola and along the sacred stone steps of Dashashwamedh Ghat, Bengal's artistic fervor meets Varanasi's timeless spiritual depth.
Institutions like Bangiya Samaj have celebrated traditional Durga Puja here for well over a century. The thunderous rhythm of the Dhaak echoes through ancient river alleys, culminating in majestic midstream boat immersions on the sacred waters of the holy Ganga.
