00:00It is said that Banaras is not just a place to visit, it is a place to live.
00:05Whether you call it Banaras, Varanasi or Kashi, it is a different story.
00:10You must have heard that Banaras is the city of Mahadev and Maa Parvati, who live on the banks of the Ganga.
00:17Most people come here when they want to attain salvation.
00:20Why is Banaras special? What is special about it?
00:23Today, I will tell you about some of the hidden gems of Banaras,
00:27whose secrets you may already know.
00:35Namaskar, my name is Ankur. Welcome to Nazaria ki Nagaria.
00:40Number one is Death Well.
00:42You must have heard of the well of death.
00:46But have you heard of a well that predicts your death?
00:52But there is a well that is located in Banaras.
00:55The name of this well is Chandrakoot, which is located near Vishwanath Gali in the Siddheswari area, inside the Siddheswari temple.
01:02It is said that when you bathe in this well, it is okay if your shadow is visible on the water inside the well.
01:09But if it is not visible, then you will leave this world in six months.
01:16This is still a mystery.
01:19If we talk about scientific facts, then in some conditions, the depth of the well, the water quality, the lighting conditions create an optical illusion.
01:26After which it is possible that sometimes your shadow may not be visible.
01:30The name of the temple is Chandrakoot.
01:32Chandra means moon.
01:34Koot means well.
01:36According to legends, this well was built by Lord Chandra, who was one of the greatest devotees of Lord Shiva.
01:44After years of penance, Lord Shiva blessed the well with mysterious qualities.
01:49Although the entire Kashi is full of miracles, but this well that predicts death is always a topic of discussion.
01:58Number 2 is Ratneswari Temple.
02:00It is also called Leaning Temple.
02:05Ratneswari Temple, located near Manikarnika Ghat, is also called Kashi Karvat.
02:10The slope of the Leaning Tower of Pisa is 3.99 degrees.
02:15While the slope of the Ratneswari Temple is about 9 degrees.
02:20Which is many times higher than the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
02:23According to sources, this temple was built in the 19th century.
02:26There are many such photos available, which were taken around 1860.
02:30In which this temple is standing straight.
02:33The height of the temple is about 13 meters.
02:35Most of the year this temple is submerged in water.
02:39It is said that a servant of King Man Singh had built this temple for his mother Ratnabai.
02:44After the temple was built, the person proudly announced that he had repaid his mother's debt.
02:50But as soon as he said this word, the temple started tilting to the north-west.
02:58This is to show that the mother's debt can never be repaid.
03:03Number 3 is Kaalbhairav Temple.
03:05Kaalbhairav Temple is one of the oldest temples in Kashi.
03:09It is also called the Kotwal of Kashi.
03:11It is said that no DM or SSP has ever inspected this police station.
03:15Because he himself comes here to take blessings before joining.
03:20Two chairs are placed in this police station.
03:22On one of which Baba Kaalbhairav himself sits.
03:26While the inspector of that police station sits on the second chair.
03:29It is said that Baba starts his work in this police station only after worshipping Kaalbhairav.
03:45It is believed that this tradition has been going on since the time of the Britishers.
03:48In 1715, Bajirao Peshwa had built the Kaalbhairav Temple.
