*Varanasi, also called Benares, Banaras, or Kashi, city, southeastern Uttar Pradesh state,* northern India. The official name of Varanasi is not a modern name. It is possibly based on the fact that it lies between where the *Varuna River* , to the north, and the *river Assi* , to the south, flow into the river Ganga . The name Varanasi was spelt Baranasi in Pali, which ultimately gave birth to the name Banaras.
Legend has it that the first Siva Jyotirlinga emanated from the earth in this city and flared straight into the sky. This is why Varanasi is also known as Kashi or “the City of Light”.
