Our group consisted of three boys including Sanjay and Rohit. Sanjay is a native of Banaras and we stayed at his place.
On the morning of May 10th, we were at the Varanasi Railway station. Varanasi station looks like a temple. Banaras was very crowded at that time due to elections; there were many rallies going on from different parties. Sanjay hired an auto-rickshaw and then we left for home. Mid way, Sanjay took Jalebi, Kachori and sabzi (जलेबी, कचौड़ी और सब्जी) for the morning breakfast. These are famous morning breakfast items in Banaras.
After breakfast, we decided to visit Kashi Vishwanath Temple. Since temple is open until noon, so we left the house at 10:00 am. Mobile and camera are not allowed in temple due to security reasons. Therefore we only captured photo of the main gate. Street from gate to temple is called “Vishwanath Gali”. Vishwanath gali has many shops that sale pooja stuff and sweets. Near the temple, I also met a friend called Hari. Read the full travel article here.
