Visit the spiritual capital of India, and assault all of your senses in this fascinating city. Take a boat ride along the famous Ganges river, where you will see men performing their morning bathing ritual in the putrid waters. Along the shore you will also see the burning ghats, here the dead are cleansed in the waters of the Ganges before being cremated and the ashes sprinkled into the river. This is the wish of all Hindus, not only is Varanasi the home of Shiva, but this ceremony will ensure they ascend to heaven without dealing with karma and reincarnation. #culture #city #spiritual #religion #river #ganges #varanasi #india
