Sacred Ganga

I've just finished three short videos of my Indian Subcontinent transit. I've split this into three parts because each region is so vastly different from the others. I'll upload them, one a day, over the next three days.

This first video covers my visit to Varanasi. The Ganga River (Ganges for westerners), India's most sacred river, flows past Varanasi and is a pilgrimage destination for Hindus. They come to bathe in the Ganga, and they also come, if they can manage it, at the end of their life to have their ashes spread on the waters. A series of stone steps, called Ghats, line the river frontage and early every morning crowds come to pray and bathe in the sacred waters.

You can see the video in the Travel tab on this website, or directly on my Vimeo Channel at www.Vimeo.com/fishtales/varanasi
