Everyday Life In The City Of Varanasi That I Captured During My Travels

ADVERTISEMENT

Situated on the west bank of the Ganges, Varanasi – also known as Benares – is an important holy city for the Hindus. According to the legend, the river Ganges was released from Lord Shiva’s hair.

This work shows the everyday life in the city of Varanasi and the river Ganges.

“Benares is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together” (Mark Twain).

    Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful photos with the rest of us. It looks like you had an amazing time. Where in the city were you? Which ghat did you live by---north or south end of the city? It would be wonderful--if you post more photos--if you could give us some captions with them to help us understand who/what is going on in them. Anyway, peace to you.....Namaste.
