after prayaag, we went to Kashi Viswanatha temple. the manager of the guest house whr we stayed had arranged a car for us. its 3hr journey from allahabad to varanasi. we started at 9am and reached around 12.30pm. varanasi is a busy town, road is totally crowded with people, cyclerickshaws, other vehicles,children coming back from school and so on. I was watching the place with grt curiosity and alos was looking out for Banaras sarees and dress collections. our driver parked the car infront of a theater and said that from thr we will have to walk and go. its such a busy street and u have to take care of urself and ur belongings. We all were wearing golden chain not realising that its UP famous for robbery.
