Situated at the banks of river Ganges the city has its own world and own way of cherishing things . This city has attracted almost every race of humanity to the land of mystery .

This is one of the most religious place for every religion primarily for Hindus.

Authors , poets , actors and photographers always visit this place either to seek solace , answer to life or to gain inspiration and Varanasi never failed to provide these either .

I say because very Famous personalities visit once and come again because simply one time is not enough or even the entire life is not enough to understand this mysterious city .

I say Varanasi as mysterious world as death is celebrated here. It is believed that if one dies here and cremated at the ghats(the stone pavements on banks of the river) will lead to attain Salvation (freedom from birth and death).

I am gonna list some Eminent personalities that visited Varanasi and was wooed by the Enigma of Life:

Varanasi is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend and looks twice as old as all of them put together .

-MARK TWAIN

2. The city illuminates the truth and reveals reality . It does not bring new wonders into scope of vision , but enables one to see what is already there .Where this eternal light intersects the earth , it is known as Kashi(older name of VARANASI) .

-DIANA L. ECK

3. Enlightenment and death which comes before it , is the primary business of VARANASI.

- TAHIR SHAH

4. Here religious feelings reigns supreme,and no sensual thought ever seems to assail these beauteous mingled forms. They come into unconscious contact with each other but only heed the river , the sun ,and the splendor of the morning in a dream of ecstasy .

-PIERRE LOTI

5. I found Varanasi absolutely staggering . I have never seen anything like it before. The city just spills into the river Ganges ... Its really really is Extraordinary.

- BRAD PITT

6.Early in the morning we crossed the Ghat,where fires were still smoldering , and gazed, with our western minds, into the Ganges.

-MARY OLIVER

7.It is a strange city where you can feel like a dweller and an alien at the same time. It is ancient, modern, progressive and sometimes regressive all at same time.

-RICHA CHADDA

Coming to the Conclusion, all I can say is all these people of different backgrounds and Countries cannot be wrong at the same time.
