It sits on the northern bank of the Ganga in the southeastern part of Uttar Pradesh, between the points where the Varuna and Assi rivers meet the Ganga. At this stretch the Ganga curves for about four miles from south to north, and Kashi is situated along that very bend. The city's old name 'Varanasi' had colloquially become 'Banaras' over time, which the Uttar Pradesh government later officially restored to 'Varanasi'. Its ruler was Raja Rishi Ram Kol of the Nagvanshi dynasty.\n\nWhat this means for you\n• Across India: The ongoing religious and cultural development around the Kashi Vishwanath complex could improve the pilgrimage experience for devotees visiting from across the country.\n• In Varanasi: New additions like the Somnath Jyotirlinga replica may draw more devotees and tourists locally, benefiting nearby businesses and employment.\n\nQuestions & Answers\n\n1.
