Varanasi Nagar Nigam

Varanasi

Hindu Holi city of Haridwar near Ganges, Uttranchal, India
Ganga Aarti performed at dusk on the banks of the Ganges River in one of the oldest living cities in the world. Boats are filled to the brim with people wanting to watch the performance.
Early morning boat ride along the Ganges River in Varanasi, India. As with most Indian cities, this one is full of tight streets, hidden alley ways and of course, monkeys. The Ganges provides a little breathing room from the congested city streets in theory, but the river in lined with "burning ghats" where people are constantly being cremated. Varanasi is an extremely holy city and many believe its good luck to die and/or be cremated in this city. Ashes are then placed in the Ganges River, which also holds high religious significance. #UrbanJungle
The off-season is hot, but the tourists are few. The beauty is astounding.
Sunrise on the Ganges Cruising just before sunrise on the Ganges. Surprisingly not as smelly as you would think. You really need to go pretty early as it does get busy - we were on the water at 5am. The rituals, spiritualism and the colours of the sunrise are a beauty to behold #Ganges #river #sunrise #cruising #varanasi #india
