Walking in Varanasi (India)
Varanasi, also known as بنارس, Benares, Banaras or Kashi, is an Indian city on the banks of the Ganga in Uttar Pradesh, 320 kilometres south-east of the state capital, Lucknow
Exploring Varanasi in India - The Ghats, River, Streets and Markets
I spend the day exploring the Indian City of Varanasi, the Ghats the river Ganges, the people, the markets and the animals.
I get a cycle rickshaw back to were we where yesterday. A go alone as today is a rest day so we are all left to our own devices until 17:00 when we go on the river for a flower ceremony (the boat strike finished today).
I spend a good few hours walking up and down the river taking photos of everything, people, boats, animals, buildings and clothes.
I don't want to seem cynical but this place is totally different to what I expected, I mean this place is meant to be the centre of religion for many people yet it is full of hawkers trying to sell you anything from postcards, make up, scalfs, boat rides and even drugs. One person even wanted to buy my hat. Even if you point your camera in the general direction of a local they demand money. Maybe about 40 years ago in more innocent times it truly was a spiritual city but now I just see an over commercialised location preying on tourists.
I saw a number of funerals taking place in the first area there was five and the second there was seven. I even saw a body being dumped into the river, this was because they were younger than 15 years old. I respect the family wishes and refrain from taking any photographs to show the people back home.
I head back to the hotel by auto rickshaw at around 14:00 and have a couple of cokes in the restaurant and surf the internet for a while in the cyber café just outside.

Varanasi is a city in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh dating to the 11th century B.C.E. Regarded as the spiritual capital of India, the city draws pilgrims who bathe in the River Ganges’ sacred waters and perform funeral rites. Ghats in Varanasi are riverfront steps leading to the banks of the River Ganges. The city has 87 ghats. Most of the ghats are bathing and puja ceremony ghats, while a few are used exclusively as cremation sites. Wikipedia

A Tourist's Guide to Varanasi, India
From Mumbai, I fly SpiceJet to the holy city of Varanasi, located on the banks of the River Ganges. More or less as soon as I drop my bags off at the hotel, I'm on the back of a motorbike to see the sights. Varanasi is the most mental city I have ever visited and I loved every second!

Incredible India - Varanasi (Benares) 2013
Варанаси- сегодня это один из наиболее древних городов в Индии, но и на всей нашей планете. Ученые склонны полагать, что возраст Варанси сказочного города-легенда, ему более 5000 лет и основан он самим богом Шивой !
