Jukaso Ganges
is located at Varanasi, which is commonly known as
Benares or Banaras and Kashi, situated on the Banks
of River Ganges. It is regarded as a holy city by
the Hindus, Buddhists and Jains. The City of Varanasi
has the distinction of being the oldest continuously
inhabited cities in the world and probably the oldest
in India.
The name Varanasi has its origin possibly from the
names of the two rivers Varuna and Assi, for the old
city lies in the north shores of the Ganga bounded
by its two tributaries, the Varuna and the Asi, with
the Ganges being to its south. Another speculation
about the origin of the name is that the river Varuna
itself was called Varanasi in olden times, from which
the city got its name. This is generally disregarded
by historians.
Jukaso Ganges at Varanasi is built on a sloped embankment
called the ‘Guleria Ghat’ on the banks
of the Holy Ganga River is typical of the riverfront
architecture of Benaras. Sandstone quarried from the
Chunar Area has been extensively used in the structural
beams and columns of this property. The property has
15 Well appointed rooms and most of them are east
facing which provide the guest with the advantage
of a river view and a soothing breeze blowing off
it.
The culture of Varanasi is closely associated with
the River Ganges and the river's religious importance.
The city has been a cultural and religious centre
in North India for several thousand years. Gautama
Buddha gave his first sermon at Sarnath located near
Varanasi.
