…in Varanasi, India

the city has two small rivers, tributaries of the Ganges (Ganga) – Varuna and Asi (the latter rather a stream). The names of the two make up the city’s modern name–Varana-Asi (aka Benares). The city is also known by its ancient name Kashi. Also, nearby Sarnath is considered home to Budha’s first sermon around 500BC.
