| DETAILED ITINERARY |
| DAY 01: ARRIVE VARANASI | GANGA ARATHI (D)
|
| • |
Arrive Varanasi, meet and greet assistance at the airport and then transfer to the hotel for check in. |
| • |
Visit the ghats to Witness The Sunset Gangga Aarti Ceremony, an iconic ritual of Hindus. A memorable moment to photograph thousands of oil lamps floating on the river by the end of the ritual. |
| • |
Take a Boat ride on the Ganges River. You will witness various rituals taking place along the ghats. Devotees and priests perform the evening Ganga Aarti, a mesmerizing ceremony where they offer prayers and lit lamps to the river. The Dashashwamedh Ghat is famous for its grand Ganga Aarti, attracting large crowds. |
| • |
After the boastride, you will be transferred to your hotel for dinner and overnight stay. |
|
| DAY 02: EARLY MORNING PRAYERS | KASI VISWANATH | KAL BHAIRAV | SARNATH (B, D)
|
| • |
Wake up early to witness rituals performed on the ghat for The Sunrise Gangga Aarti Ceremony. |
| • |
Morning prayers typically begin before dawn, usually around 5:00 AM to 5:30 AM, depending on the time of sunrise. It's advisable to arrive at the ghat a little earlier to find a good spot to witness the ceremony. As the first light of day breaks, the priests perform a highly choreographed ritual. They chant mantras, make offerings to the Ganges, and sway brass lamps in a synchronized manner. The sight of multiple lamps illuminating the pre-dawn darkness is both mesmerizing and spiritually uplifting. The Ganga Aarti is a symbolic act of devotion to the river Ganges, which is considered sacred and purifying in Hinduism. Devotees believe that witnessing this ceremony and participating in it can cleanse one's sins and bring spiritual blessings. |
| • |
Thereafter we will introduce you to your priest for your Pind Daan Rituals. "Pind Daan" refers to the ritual of |
| • |
offering food (pinda) to ancestors to seek their blessings and ensure their peace in the afterlife. This is a separate ritual |
| • |
and is not directly related to the Ganga Aarti. Pind Daan is often performed at specific ghats in Varanasi, such as the |
| • |
Manikarnika Ghat, which is considered one of the holiest for performing funeral rites and rituals. |
| • |
Later visit The Kashi Vishwanath Temple of Banaras dedicated to Lord Shiva, the patron deity of the city, is one of |
| • |
the most famous Hindu temples. The present-day structure is from the 18th century built by the Queen of Indore and |
| • |
its gilded spire was a gift from Maharaja Ranjit Singh of Lahore. |
| • |
Before heading back to the hotel for breakfast visit the Sacred Lolark Kund Stepwell. The kund is dedicated to |
| • |
Lord Surya (the Sun God). Devotees believe that taking a dip in the waters of Lolark Kund during the auspicious |
| • |
month of Bhadrapada (August-September) helps in the fulfillment of wishes, particularly for those seeking progeny. |
| • |
Return to the hotel for breakfast. |
| • |
Thereafter proceed to Kaal Bhairav Temple. Kaal Bhairav is believed to be the Kotwal (Chief police officer) of Creation; everyone who wants to exist in Creation(even if Gods) needs to take his permission to exist. He is also believed to be the Kotwal of "Sati pind" and without his permission, no one can touch the "Sati pind". |
| • |
Next proceed to Sarnath, an ancient and historically significant city located near Varanasi. This is one of the most important Buddhist pilgrimage sites. It is where Lord Buddha is said to have given his first sermon, known as the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, to his first five disciples after attaining enlightenment. |
| • |
Later, return to the hotel for dinner and overnight stay. |
| • |
Priest for the Pindaan & Pooja ceremonies will be on direct payment basis. (Tamil Speaking priest available upon request) |
|
| DAY 03: TRAVEL TO PRAYAGRAJ | TRIVENI SANGHAM | PROCEED TO AYODHYA (B, D)
|
| • |
After early breakfast depart for Prayagraj(formerly known as Allahabad) is a popular excursion for tourists and pilgrims. Prayagraj, located about 120 kilometers (75 miles) southwest of Varanasi, is known for its religious and historical significance, primarily due to the confluence of three sacred rivers: the Ganges, the Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati. |
| • |
Upon reaching Prayagraj, head straight to the Triveni Sangam, the holy confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers. You will take a boat ride to get closer to the confluence point. Witnessing and taking a dip in the confluence is a spiritually significant experience. |
| • |
Visit Prayag Ghat, one of the prominent ghats along the banks of the Ganges River. Take some time to soak in the spiritual ambiance and observe the rituals taking place. |
| • |
Thereafter take a Discovery Tour of Alahabad and then Travel to Ayodhya (Approx:150KM/3.5HRS) |
| • |
Dinner and overnight stay in hotel at Ayodhya. |
|
| DAY 04: FULLDAY GUIDED TOUR OF AYODHYAS RICH HERITAGE (B, D)
|
| • |
After breakfast embark on a journey through Ayodhya's rich heritage. |
| • |
Begin your tour at Shri Ram Janma Bhoomi. Visit Ram Janambhoomi Temple. The temple holds immense religious significance for Hindus as it is believed to be the birthplace of Lord Rama, a revered deity in Hinduism. |
| • |
Next, venture to Hanuman Garhi Mandir, nestled atop a hill offering panoramic views of Ayodhya. This sacred site honors Lord Hanuman, symbolizing strength and devotion, with its distinctive architecture and serene ambiance. Ascend the steep steps to the main sanctum and partake in blessings and protection believed to be bestowed by the deity. |
| • |
Thereafter, explore Kanak Bhavan Temple, a sacred shrine dedicated to Lord Rama and Sita. Admire its intricate architecture and vibrant paintings, steeped in Hindu mythology. Dive into the legend of Queen Kaikeyi's gift of the golden palace to Sita, as depicted on the temple walls adorned with stunning murals portraying scenes from the Ramayana. Seek the blessings of Lord Rama and Sita for marital bliss and prosperity, as pilgrims have done for centuries. |
| • |
Next, venture to The mystical Guptar Ghat, located 10 kilometers from Ayodhya. This mystical site holds the aura of Lord Rama's last earthly bath before returning to his divine abode. Explore the Gupta Rameshwara cave, where Rama sought solace during his exile, attracting pilgrims and history enthusiasts alike. |
| • |
If time allows, visit the Tulsi Manas Museum & Sita Rasoi to delve deeper into Ayodhya's cultural tapestry. |
| • |
As evening approaches, Witness the mesmerizing Aarti Ceremony at Swarg Dwar Ghat , a deeply spiritual ritual accompanied by rhythmic chants.
