GANGES RIVER IN THE HOLY CITY OF VARANASI

INDIA

A place where sacrum meets profanum

I spent a couple of days wandering the hectic streets of Varanasi and crossing the Ganges river on a boat. I couldn’t believe my own eyes when looking around. I heard so much about Varanasi before going there but only when I saw it with my own eyes, felt all the smells with my own nose and heard all the noises with my own ears I could understand what other travellers were on about. Varanasi and the Ganges river should be on everyone’s bucket list. This is a must see place if you want to understand the world a bit better… There’s always someone praying there, there’s always someone singing there, there’s always someone dying there. there’re always someone already dead there. Plus the whole cacophony of sounds, the entire rainbow of colours, all the possible smells… The entire India essence in one place.
