Kashikhand , a section of the Skanda Mahapuran which has a detailed description of Kashi 's introduction, greatness and its ephemeral nature. Kashi is also known as Anandvan and Varanasi. Lord Vishwanath himself narrated its glory once to Bhagwati Parvati ji, which was heard by his son Kartikeya (Skanda) sitting on his mother's lap. Kartikeya later described the same glory to Agastya Rishi and the same story is narrated in Kashikhand under Skandpuran.
Kashikhand has 100 chapters and above 11,000 verses. Through this, the then geography of Kashi, the stories of the construction of ancient temples, the introduction of the gods and goddesses in the temples, the history of the city and its traditions can be well understood. In fact, it is a book written in ancient times which is nowadays called "Directory".

Hi Author
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading your post, and I must say it was a delightful read! The way you captured the essence of the place truly made me feel as though I was walking through the streets alongside you. The Varanasi trip sounds like an unforgettable experience, with its rich culture, vibrant atmosphere, and spiritual significance. I loved the details you included about the ghats, temples, and the local rituals—it really brought the city to life.
Your insights have definitely inspired me to add Varanasi to my travel list. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to reading more of your travel stories in the future!
