Known as the city of Lord Shiva, the city of temples, the city of knowledge, the religious capital of India, the city of lights, Kashi is given twelve different names in the Skanda Purana, among which Varanasi, Ananda-Kanan, Avimukt, Rudravas, Shri Shivpuri and Muktibhoomi are prominent. The name 'Kashi' means light or light of Brahma and Vishnu. The name Varanasi is probably derived from the two local rivers Varuna and Asi.
