If Banaras is said to be older than tradition, its ghats are eternal, like the song of a mystic. All the Banaras ghats are different stories and each has a mystic of its own. This lyrical mysticism has found its harbingers right from the beginning, from Raja Harishchandra to many present-day faceless proponents of its spiritual mystic. It has nurtured the likes of Shankaracharyas, Tulsidas, Kabir Das, Ravidas, Bhartendu and they have imparted this mysticism its all possible hues.
