KASI

People bathe in the Ganga. They worship Visweswara, Visalakshi and Annapurna.

Long, long ago a king named Harishchandra lived in Kasi.

He always spoke the truth.

Rishi Viswamitra wanted to test the king.

So he put him to severe tests. As a result, the king lost his kingdom, his wife and son, too. Yet he did not give up his truthfulness.

Rishi Viswamitra was pleased with the king. He gave back Harishchandra his lost kingdom, wife and son.

From olden days Kasi has been a great seat of learning.

There is also a big modem university today.
