Varanasi, India – January 2008

January 1, 2008 by DaveLeave a Comment

Varanasi India is one of the Hindu’s most holiest cities and is located on the banks of the great Ganges River. This can be a chaotic city at times from the cows blocking the narrow streets, to hundreds of bicycle rickshaw drivers all jostling to get by. This is the only place we’ve ever seen naked people sitting in the street totally being ignored by passer bys.

Bathing and cremation “ghats” are located along the river – essentially these are a series of concrete steps that lead to the river for bathing, washing or cremation purposes. For more info visit the official tourism site: www.varanasi.nic.in
