Updated: October 02, 2016 17:42 IST
Varanasi is home to some of the oldest and most sacred of ghats in the nation. The ghats symbolise creation and destruction with thousands of devotees bringing their dead kin to the pyres set along its borders. Varanasi's historical and culture significance adds to the need to preserve its iconic sites.
