The ropeway will connect the famous Kashi Vishwanath Temple with the Kalika Mata Temple, which is located on the other side of the river Ganga. The 1.5-km long ropeway will cut down the travel time between the two temples from 45 minutes to just 3 minutes. The project has been completed at a cost of Rs 129 crore and is expected to attract a large number of tourists.

 Apart from the ropeway, the Prime Minister will also inaugurate the newly renovated Sarnath Light and Sound Show, which has been developed at a cost of Rs 6.5 crore. The show will showcase the rich history of Sarnath, which is an important Buddhist pilgrimage site located near Varanasi.

 In addition to these projects, the Prime Minister will also lay the foundation stone for a number of development initiatives, including the construction of a new building for the Kashi Vishwanath Temple Trust, which has been allotted Rs 339 crore. Other projects include the construction of a multi-level parking facility at Godowlia, the development of a crafts museum, and the expansion of the Jal Sansthan Sewage Treatment Plant.

 The Prime Minister's visit to Varanasi is part of his government's efforts to develop the city as a hub for tourism and spiritualism. Varanasi, also known as Kashi, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and is considered a holy city by Hindus. It is also a major center for the study of Indian classical music and is home to the Banaras Hindu University.

 The development projects being inaugurated today are expected to boost the city's infrastructure and attract more tourists, which will in turn generate employment opportunities for the local population. The Prime Minister's visit to Varanasi is also seen as a significant political move, given that he represents the city in the Lok Sabha and has a deep emotional connect with it.

 In conclusion, the inauguration of the first public ropeway in India and the other development projects being launched today are expected to transform Varanasi into a modern, vibrant city that preserves its rich cultural heritage. The Prime Minister's visit to the city is a sign of his commitment to the development of the region and is expected to have a positive impact on the local population.
