Varanasi, India

12 Aug

Varanasi, the city popularized in guidebooks for its “burning ghats” has always held a morbid fascination for tourists. According to Hindu belief, dying in Varanasi liberates your soul from the cycle of death and rebirth. Bathing in the water of the Holy River Ganges washes away your sins. Considering the current pollution levels of the river, a sip of that water is likely to have enough powers to relieve you of the long suffering that is life. But that is only a “bacterial” view of “purity.”
