Varanasi
Kasi or Varanasi is one of the most ancient, famous and holiest of the pilgrim centers. It is situated between two small streams that flow into the river Ganges , Varuna on its northern border and Asi (or Assi) on its southern border, from whom it derives its name Varanasi. The name Kasi is derived from either its original founder or a dynasty that ruled it or the kingdom with which it was associated. According to another theory the place might have got its name from a grass named Kusa that grew wildly in the region where the city was built.
