It is not just one of the holiest Hindu pilgrimages, or a strategic citadel of medieval times or just a city of fanatic fervour and sacriiice during momentous movements like the fight for independence, or even a city of great personalities, past and present. It is a city that does not live merely on its past, or, for that matter, on any single dimension. It is, in fact, a historical and religious city that lives in the present, for the future.
