The Geography of Your Yatra
Kashi's sacred geography is simple once seen on a map: the Ganga arcs along the east, the ghats step down to her bank, the temple sits a short walk above Dashashwamedh and Manikarnika, the old city spreads west, and the stations and airport lie further west/northwest. Use the interactive map below for exact positions.
