World Heritage Day-2025, also known as the International Day for Monuments and Sites, is observed on April 18 every year to raise awareness about the richness of cultural heritage and the urgent need to preserve it for future generations. On this occasion, Shubhangi Atre, aka Angoori Bhabi from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai reflects on her most memorable visits to India’s iconic heritage site. Shubhangi says her recent visit to Varanasi was unforgettable.
Shubhangi Atre reflects, “As someone deeply connected to spirituality and Indian traditions, my visit to Varanasi was profoundly moving. Varanasi is a sacred tapestry of devotion, culture, and ancient wisdom.”
The actress said she had the divine opportunity to offer prayers at the Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and among the most revered shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva. The sanctity and spiritual energy within the temple left me speechless.
Shubhangi said, “A sunrise boat ride on the Ganges River was another soul-stirring experience. As the mist lifted and the sun painted the sky, the ghats came alive with morning rituals, chants, and the timeless rhythm of life. Witnessing the Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat, where thousands gather to witness the mesmerizing synchrony of devotion, was an ethereal moment.”
Shubhangi said the floating diyas, ancient alleys, and stories embedded in every stone made her realize that Varanasi is not just a city but a living embodiment of India’s spiritual and cultural heritage. It’s places like these that inspire us to cherish and protect our legacy, she added.
