Puja Process
Kashi Teerth Kshetra, Uttar Pradesh
Kashi, also known as Varanasi, is one of the oldest living spiritual cities in the world and is revered as the sacred abode of Lord Shiva. The scriptures describe Kashi as a place where divine energy is constantly present, where the barriers between the devotee and the divine are naturally thinner, and where prayers offered with sincerity receive special grace. For thousands of years, sages, saints and seekers have come to Kashi to perform anushthans, yajnas and paath, believing that the spiritual vibration of this land amplifies the power of every mantra. The city is described in the Puranas as the place where Lord Shiva grants liberation, removes deep-rooted obstacles and protects devotees from unseen difficulties. Because of this, rituals performed in Kashi are considered highly effective for peace, prosperity, protection and spiritual upliftment. The atmosphere of the ghats, the constant sound of mantras, and the presence of ancient shrines create a field of energy that devotees often feel as calming, grounding and deeply purifying. Kashi is also known as the meeting point of multiple divine forces. While Shiva is the presiding deity, the city holds sacred connections to Vishnu, Maa Lakshmi, Maa Durga, Hanuman, Bhairav and the Navgraha. This makes it an especially powerful place for anushthans that involve multi-deity worship, where blessings of strength, prosperity, harmony and divine protection are sought together. Devotees believe that prayers offered in Kashi help dissolve past obstacles, bring clarity in times of confusion and open the path for new beginnings. Many choose to participate in rituals performed here when they desire peace in the family, progress in life, emotional balance or strength during challenging phases. The spiritual aura of Kashi reassures the heart and fills the devotee with renewed hope and confidence. As one of the most sacred spiritual centres in India, Kashi stands as a timeless space where sacred offerings carry deep potency, where divine grace is believed to be ever-present, and where prayers for prosperity, wellbeing and protection are received with compassion and blessing.
