The first film in the series begins where every pilgrim's journey into Kashi often starts: the steps of Dashashwamedh Ghat as the sun lowers over the Ganga.
We follow the evening aarti — brass lamps, chanting, and the press of devotion along the river — then walk the lanes toward Kashi Vishwanath, where faith has layered stone upon stone for centuries.
This episode sets the tone for the full circuit: not a checklist of sights, but the lived rhythm of prayer, river and old city.
