Why Varanasi, Ayodhya, and Prayagraj for a Spiritual Tour?

They form Uttar Pradesh's spiritual golden triangle:

Varanasi - World's oldest continuously inhabited city with ghats, temples, and hallowed Ganga Aarti.

Ayodhya - Birthplace of Lord Rama with newly renovated temples and an ancient cultural landscape.

Prayagraj - Famous for the Triveni Sangam, the union of rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati, and one of the most pious sites of Hinduism.

Both of these places are a great mix of religion, history, and culture, suitable for a 7-day spiritual pilgrimage.

Evening - Attend the beautiful Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat, an evening so replete with devotion and serenity.

Second Day - Shankar Viman Mandapam, Alopi Devi Temple, and stroll through the peaceful banks of the Sangam.
