E14 - Eternal Varanasi: A Tapestry of Cultures, Myths, and Traditions

Welcome back to ILF Radio! We deeply appreciate your patience and understanding during our brief hiatus.

In our latest episode, we embark on an illuminating journey through the ancient streets of Varanasi, the spiritual heart of India. Join us as we unravel the layers of history and tradition woven into the fabric of this timeless city. From the sacred waters of the Ganges to the Lal Khan's Tomb, Varanasi has been a melting pot of cultures and traditions, drawing seekers, scholars, and sages from across the world. Our guide for this captivating exploration is Shagufta Siddhi ( @shaguftasiddhi ), an educator, art historian, and founder of the Ganga Jamuni Foundation. With her expertise, we delve into the rich tapestry of Varanasi, also known as Banaras or Kashi, where over 3000 years of continuous habitation have shaped its vibrant culture and spiritual significance. Through Shagufta's insightful commentary, we uncover the myths, legends, and timeless wisdom that have infused every corner of this mystical city.
