Adi Keshava
In Ghadavala inscription this ghat was referred as Videsvara Ghat This is assumed to be the oldest and most legit site of Lord Vishnu(Keshava). The temple complex of Adi Keshava has a pleasant pastoral setting on the bank above the confluence of Varana and the Ganga rivers. This is listed in one of the oldest puranic listings of sacred sites in the city,. This sacred spot is fully eulogized in the MP (185-68), The VP(3.34-50),the KKh (84.109; see also 51.44-82).This was the most favorite holy site of the Gahadavala kings, as evident from the Gahadavala inscription that’’ a great number of regal ritual occasions in Varanasi included the worship of Adi keshava or a dip in the ganga at the Varana confluence.
