The oldest city in India is believed to be Varanasi, also known as Kashi or Benares. Varanasi is located in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh and is considered one of the holiest cities in Hinduism. The city has a rich history dating back more than 3,000 years and is believed to have been inhabited continuously since then. Varanasi is known for its ancient temples, ghats (stone steps leading to the river), and spiritual significance. It has been a center of learning and culture for thousands of years, and many important figures in Indian history, such as Gautama Buddha and Mahavira, are said to have visited or lived in the city. |
