A delegation from the Tamil community, representing the second phase of Kashi Tamil Sangamam, embarked on a profound journey in Varanasi. The delegates commenced their visit by experiencing the spiritual sanctity of Hanuman Ghat, where they participated in a holy dip in the sacred Ganges. Acharyas present at the ghat enlightened the group with narratives about the historical significance of various ghats in Varanasi.
Subsequently, the delegates explored the ancient temples situated along the ghats, delving into the rich history, divinity, and grandeur that these structures hold. The visit extended to the residence of Shri Subramanya Bharati at Hanuman Ghat, where the group had the privilege of meeting his family members. Additionally, the delegates paid a visit to the Kanchi Math, immersing themselves in the history of this revered institution.
The delegation discovered the profound connection between Kashi and Tamil Nadu. Exploring areas around Hanuman Ghat, Kedar Ghat, and Harishchandra Ghat, they encountered Tamil families who have resided there for generations, embodying the spirit of Kasi Tamil Sangamam.
