Avimukta

(“unforsaken”) The word Avimukta
carries two shades of meaning: in a
more general sense, it is a name for the
city of Benares; in a more specific sense,
it refers to the part of Benares considered to be the sacred heart of the city, in
the region centered around the
Vishvanath Temple.
Avimukta gets its name from the
belief that Shiva never leaves this
place, and because of this its proponents
claim that it is the holiest spot on earth.
See Benares.
