What the texts say

In the Skanda Purana, Kashi (also called Varanasi and Avimukta) is the royal city of Shiva, appointed by him for the liberation of all beings. Skanda Purana 4.1.18.12, 4.1.1.2, 4.1.32.125 The same Purana praises the city as upheld, even at dissolution, on the tip of Shiva's trident. Skanda Purana 4.1.5.20 It also says that in all the three crores of tirthas, no city compares with Kashi. Skanda Purana 4.1.5.31 The Kurma Purana says that those who die at other holy places do not attain supreme liberation in the same way as those who die in Kashi. Kurma Purana 1.29.47
