Varanasi or Kashi is believed to be older than any history, older than any tradition, older even than legends and looks twice as old as all of them put together, said the famous American writer and traveller after visiting Varanasi in the late 19th century. Varanasi is among the oldest continuously lived cities in the world. Also famously known as Benares, Banaras, or Kashi, it is the sacred and Holy city for Hindus and Kashi is one of the holiest places in India and Kashi Vishwanath Temple here is one of the main Jyotirlinga. As per Hindus believe Kashi was estd by Lord Shiva and archeological findings have revealed that Vedic people lived here in the 11th or 12th century BCE. Parshva, the 23rd Jain Tirthankara is also supposed to have lived here around the 8th century BC. Gautama Buddha started Buddhism here, when he gave his first preaching at Sarnath, just 10 km away. In the 8th century, Adi Shankara declared Lord Shiva as the official deity of the city.
