Varanasi is one of the seven hallowed cities of the Hindus. During late second millenium BCE, it was a place of Aryan religion and philosophy. Not only this, it was a commercial and industrial hub known for silk and muslin fabrics, ivory materials, and perfumes. At the time of Muslim rule in the country, the religious places of Varanasi were ruined and it was abandoned by scholars. There were again subsequent ups and downs in the city's status. After the reigns of different rulers, ultimately it was reformed as a new Indian state by British.
