Kashi Naresh

Kashi Naresh, also known as the King of Kashi, is the traditional title of the reigning monarch of Varanasi (formerly Kashi), one of the oldest cities in India. This ceremonial title reflects the historical and cultural significance of Varanasi, especially in Hinduism. The Kashi Naresh is often regarded as a symbolic leader, representing the rich heritage of the city. Although the title has lost its political power over time, it remains important in religious and cultural contexts, particularly during festivals and rituals, highlighting the city's prestige as a spiritual hub.
