Varanasi — Kashi, the city of light — is counted among the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, and it wears its age openly. More than eighty ghats step down to the Ganga, and life, prayer and farewell all happen on the same stone steps.
What makes it different
Most pilgrimages lead to a single shrine. In Kashi the whole city is the shrine. The Kashi Vishwanath temple is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, but people come as much for the river as for the temple: to bathe at dawn, to watch the evening aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat, and to see how a city lives so calmly beside its cremation grounds.
How to see it well
- Take a rowing boat along the ghats at first light, before the city is loud.
- Arrive early for the evening Ganga Aarti; the best places on the steps fill an hour ahead.
- Keep half a day for Sarnath, about ten kilometres away, where the Buddha gave his first sermon.
- October to March is the kindest weather; the summer months are very hot.
Kashi rewards slowness. Stay near the river, walk the lanes, and let the city set the pace.
The Char Dham of Uttarakhand — Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath — are four Himalayan shrines visited, by tradition, from west to east. Together they make one of India’s most loved yatras, and one of its most demanding.
When to go
The temples open in late April or May and close for the winter in October or November. May, June, September and October are the usual months; the July–August monsoon brings landslides on the mountain roads, so most families avoid it.
What to expect
- Kedarnath sits at about 3,580 metres and is reached by a trek of around 16 km from Gaurikund, by pony or palki, or by helicopter.
- Yamunotri needs a shorter walk of about 6 km; Gangotri and Badrinath are reached by road.
- Pilgrims must register with the Uttarakhand government before they travel.
- The full circuit takes ten to twelve days from Haridwar or Rishikesh.
Pack warm layers even in summer, keep a rest day in hand for the altitude, and see a doctor first if anyone in the group has a heart or breathing condition.
Krishna’s story travels across India, from the villages of Braj where he grew up to the kingdom he ruled on the western sea. Following it is one of the gentlest and most joyful journeys a family can make.
Braj: Mathura and Vrindavan
Mathura is his birthplace, and Vrindavan, a short drive away, is where the stories of his childhood are told in thousands of temples — Banke Bihari among the most beloved. Nearby Gokul, Govardhan and Barsana complete the circle; many pilgrims walk the Govardhan parikrama of about 21 km.
Dwarka
On the coast of Gujarat, the Dwarkadhish temple honours Krishna as king. A boat crossing to Bet Dwarka and a stop at Nageshwar, one of the Jyotirlingas, fit easily into the same visit.
- Janmashtami, in August or September, is the most joyous time to be in Braj, and the most crowded.
- Holi in Braj lasts a week and more, and is unlike Holi anywhere else.
The twelve Jyotirlingas are the shrines where Shiva is worshipped as a jyoti — an endless column of light. Visiting all twelve is one of the great undertakings of Hindu pilgrimage, and it crosses the whole of India.
The twelve
- Somnath and Nageshwar in Gujarat
- Mahakaleshwar in Ujjain and Omkareshwar on the Narmada, in Madhya Pradesh
- Kedarnath in the Himalaya, and Kashi Vishwanath in Varanasi
- Bhimashankar, Trimbakeshwar and Grishneshwar in Maharashtra
- Mallikarjuna at Srisailam in Andhra Pradesh, and Ramanathaswamy at Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu
- Vaidyanath at Deoghar in Jharkhand
Planning the circuit
Covering all twelve takes three to four weeks with flights and trains between regions. Kedarnath is open only from about May to October, which usually decides the season. At Ujjain, the dawn Bhasma Aarti has to be booked in advance.
Rameswaram sits on Pamban Island, off the coast of Tamil Nadu, and holds a place in two great pilgrimages at once: its Ramanathaswamy temple is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and one of the four dhams, with Badrinath, Dwarka and Puri.
The temple
Tradition holds that Rama worshipped Shiva here on his return from Lanka. The temple is famous for its long pillared corridors, and for the wells inside it where pilgrims bathe, one after another, before darshan.
Around the island
- Dhanushkodi, at the island’s tip, is where the Bay of Bengal meets the Indian Ocean; the old town was lost to a cyclone in 1964.
- The Pamban bridges carry road and rail across the sea to the mainland.
- Kanyakumari, at India’s southern tip, and Madurai’s Meenakshi temple pair naturally with Rameswaram in one journey.
