Varanasi, the city is a center of learning and civilization for over 3000 years.Varanasi has been a symbol of Hindu renaissance. Knowledge, philosophy, culture, devotion to Gods, Indian arts and crafts have all flourished here for centuries.Varanasi is associated with promotion of spiritualism, mysticism, Sanskrit, yoga and Hindi language and honored authors such as the ever-famous novelist Prem Chand and Tulsi Das, the famous saint-poet who wrote Ram Charit Manas. Aptly called as the cultural capital of India, Varanasi has provided the right platform for all cultural activities to flourish.The city is famous for it numerous temples and 80 Ghats and ancient education. Here, there are world famous educational institutions such as The Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidhyapeeth (JNM College for advance studies & technology is affiliated to Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth) and BHU.
