Also famously known as Benares, Banaras, or Kashi, it is the sacred and Holy city for Hindus Kashi is one of the holiest places in India and Kashi Vishwanath Temple here is one of the main Jyotirlinga. Hindus believe Kashi was estd by Lord Shiva and archeological findings have revealed that Vedic people lived here in the 11th or 12th century BCE. Parshva, the 23rd Jain Tirthankara is also supposed to have lived here around the 8th century BC. Gautama Buddha started Buddhism here, when he gave his first preaching at Sarnath, just 10 km away. In the 8th century, Adi Shankara declared Lord Shiva as the official deity of the city.

In addition to being a major pilgrimage center, the city has played an important part in the formation of modern India. Hindu mythology states that Lord Brahma, the creator, chose a land for the 'Prakrishta Yajna'. This land, on the confluence of three holy rivers - Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati, blessed by gods, came to be known as Prayagraj. Prayagraj became the headquarters of Northwestern Provinces, after being shifted from Agra.
