Speciality - As told in the Vamana Purana, Varanasi was divinely conceived at the dawn of time by the cosmic being, Purusha. It is said that the two rivers Varuna and Asi originated from the feet of this primordial giant: the Varuna from his right foot and the Asi from his left. Between these two rivers lies the sacred land of Varanasi, revered as the ultimate place of pilgrimage.
