What is the historical significance of `the city of lights- Varanasi’ for pitru karyas?

Generally, it is believed that the biggest river of India, the Ganga is holy in its origin and has the power to wash away all the mortal sin. According to Hindu mythology, the geological abnormality is found in the directional flow of the Ganga river, which is persistent exclusively in Kashi, which is a part of modern-day Varanasi. According to the pandits for tarpana in Kashi, Varanasi connected to the names of two Ganges tributaries, which are forming the border of the city: Varuna, still flowing in the north side of the Varanasi and another one is Assi, a small stream located in the south part of the city, near the Assi Ghat. The old city Varanasi is located on the north shores of the Ganges, bounded by Varuna and Assi.

In the Rigveda also, which is an ancient Indian collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns with associated commentaries on liturgy, ritual and mystical exegesis, the Varanasi city is referred to as K??? (Kashi) from the Sanskrit language verbal root ka? means- "to shine", making the Varanasi city as the "city of light", the "glowing city as an outstanding seat of learning".

According to purohit in Kashi for pitrukaryas, Varanasi was founded by Lord Shiva, one of the three main deities including Brahma and Vishnu. During a fight between Shiva and Brahma, one of the five heads of the Brahma was torn off by Shiva. As per the custom, Shiva carried the Brahma’s head in his hand and let it hang down from his hand as a sign of his own bravery. Thus Shiva dishonoured head of Brahma and kept it with him all times. When Shiva comes to the city of Varanasi, the hanging head of Brahma dropped from the hand of Shiva and disappeared in the ground. Therefore Varanasi is considered as an extremely holy place.

Varanasi is considered as one of the holiest cities called Sapta puri which can give Moksha. Those cities are Ayodhya, Mathura, Haridwar, Kashi, Kanchi, Avanti, and Dv?rak?, which are the seven cities known as the givers of liberation.

According to another tale of Varanasi explained by the pandits for devakaryas in Varanasi, there was a confrontation between Lord Shiva and the mighty river Ganga. As per the narrative, the extreme force of the Ganga river was violently intense as it neared the Kashi, thus compelling Shiva to strike the trident or the Trishul on the path of the Ganga river and slowing down effectively as it crosses over the periphery of the city.

It is believed that a person who dies in this holy place Kashi, gets salvation or Moksha and freed from taking rebirth. Even if one dies in anywhere, and the last rites are performed in this city, then also one can get the salvation.
