| | A favored hermitage site for many of India's most adored sages - Guatama Buddha and Mahavira, Kabir and Tulsi Das, Shankaracharaya, Ramanuja and Patanjali - Banaras has been and continues to be one of the most visited holy places on the planet. | | | Because of this belief, dying persons and dead bodies from far-off places are brought to Kashi for cremation at the Manikarnika and other cremation sites (five principal and eighty-eight minor cremation/bathing sites lie along the Ganges). | | | Another important Banaras pilgrimage route is the Nagara Pradakshina, which takes two days to complete and has seventy-two shrines. |

| | Banaras must have contributed to this famous export-trade, as is supported by the Jataka stories about Banaras merchants crossing deserts and seas. | | | However, its old glory in the realm of textile manufacture is re-affirmed by the Dilyalvadana, a Buddhist Sanskrit text of the same period, which makes references to such fabrics known as Kashikavastra, Kashi Kashikamsu and so on. | | | However, he is also silent about its textile industry.Damodara Gupta (eighth-ninth century A.D) in his kuttanimalam,describes Banaras in its full glory. |

| | Banaras is unique because here the divinity is accessible not only through temples, altars, saintly people, and places, but through the river Ganga who is as a mother goddess, a divinity in natural form. | | | Banaras is a 'living scripture' of Hindu thought. | | | Apart from having an unbroken tradition of Shastric learning, Banaras probably had the largest number of ashramas of ancient India which were the traditional universities of wisdom and enlightenment. |
