BANARAS : Older Than History, A Documentary by Sanjay Charan, Chhoti Film City

Banaras is the most visited pilgrimage destination in all of India. One of the seven Holy Cities, one of the twelve Jyotir Linga sites and also a Shakti Pitha site. Myths and hymns speak of the waters of the Ganges River as the fluid medium of Shiva s divine essence and a bath in the river is believed to wash away all of one s sins.
