[2025 Varanasi Attraction] Travel Guide for Ganga River (Updated Mar)

#springsummergoodplace2024 If someone asked me what was the most shocking scenic spot during my travels? The Ganges River is probably one of them As the mother river of India, although the Ganges has been very polluted in recent years, in the hearts of Indians, it is a holy river given by the Indian God, and it is a place that must be visited once in a lifetime. A large number of people come in every early morning, and the shore is already brightly lit before dawn. Many people buy bouquets of flowers and dress up and bathe in the river. At the same time, there are people washing clothes and brushing teeth nearby. Sometimes cows will also soak in the river. In the middle of the distant river, someone is scattering the ashes of freshly incinerated corpses. Very very shocking! Whenever you go to a place, what you should do as a traveler is to try your best to understand the local culture. It can only be said that the Ganges River cannot replace the absolutely sacred existence in the hearts of Indians! #IndiaTravel #GangesSunrise#Must-come-once-in-a-lifetime #Shocking experience

#hiddengems Since long time ago, the Ganges river has been the most holiest and sacred river in Hinduism religion that over millions of local people and foreign Hindu believer will visit this place where they believe taking a bath or have a body dip in the river will help cure any illnesses. However, as there are many sewages poured into the river everyday, it has gradually became polluted as only partial of it had gone through some water treatment and nowadays, it is 1 of the most polluted river in the world. Still, people who come will bathe here but it is not that recommend as it can be dangerous with the polluted water. As a tourists, if you are not taking shower here, I would more recommend to chase the sunrise in the very early morning taking the boat and guarantee you wont be disappointed with the stunning sunrise view over the water!!

The Ganges is a sacred river that symbolizes India, and the river itself is deified and worshipped. Hundreds of cremations take place along the Ganges in Varanasi every day, and many travelers from all over the world visit the area to see India's view of life and death. There is a crematorium nearby. I was called out to and followed. It was the first time I had ever thought so much about death. At the end, I was told that it would cost a lot of money for the firewood, so I was told that it was okay to refuse, even though it might be painful. I paid it. I thought it was a good tip. I don't know if the person would pay for the firewood properly, though. ⭐︎Location Varanasi Even if you don't bathe there, you can feel something there. I thought there were many things you wouldn't understand unless you went there. #India #Ganges #Varanasi

Varanasi, India, is known as the land of light of the gods. On the banks of the Ganges in the morning, watching the sun on the other side rise slowly, and when the light shines on the ancient and magnificent buildings, you will understand the meaning of the city of light. Mark Twain once commented on the sunrise of the Ganges River: as long as you have seen it once, even if it is only a momentary look, no one will be willing to exchange this short glimpse with other landscapes in the world. In the movie "Gravity", George Clooney suddenly saw the scene of the Ganges sunrise as he flew deep into the universe, and when the sunrise glowed to the Ganges, the dazzling light It is a landscape that is unmatched by the beauty of the world. The last sentence he left before his life was gone, "When you can't keep going, you should look at the sunrise of the Ganges. It's so beautiful."

In Varanasi, you can find the history of the cremation of the millennium and feel the Indians' belief in the Ganges Varanasi, located on the left bank of the Ganges. It is India's famous historical city and Hindu holy land, and is the "capital" of the Indian spiritual world. Varanasi is close to the Ganges, and countless believers, ascetic and dying people come here to bathe or wait to be cremated to purify their souls. There are more than 1,500 temples and many places of interest, including the Ganges Baths, the Golden Temple of India, the Durga Temple, and the Indian University of Benares. The birthplaces of the two denominations of Sakyamuni and Jainism, which were first introduced by Sakyamuni, are near Varanasi, so Varanasi in the broad sense is an important holy place for Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Waranaxi is spiritually sacred and profound, but at the material level it is chaotic and dirty. In reality, India may be backward, and in my opinion, India is more like a time capsule, and the customs of thousands of years can continue to this day. Including architecture, including customs, including religious customs, is so complete in the long river of history. The whole world is changing at the speed of flying. This is still the case, which is one of the reasons that attracts me. This kind of ancient feeling is the kind of breath that can make you feel at a moment. is the atmosphere of the city. You will want to put down your mobile phone while breathing, sitting under the sun and watching the Ganges daze At that moment, we are all Indians.

India must punch card | Ganges night festival people and God's exchange with the development of human civilization, continues to this day, in the ancient civilization of India, this sacrifice is still the most grand ritual today. The noble Brahmin rituals on the banks of the Ganges will perform the Ganges Night Festival on every river in the evening to thank the Ganges for giving everything to humanity. In addition to the early arrival of the devout Hindus at the venue, the ceremony also attracted the arrival of tourists from all over the world. Ever since, this mysterious and huge ritual has also emerged with a lot of commercial atmosphere. If you want a good location to watch the night festival, as long as you save money, you can sit anywhere. While walking down the steps, I casually bargained. After all, the private boat that provided the landscape location had already stopped at the river bank. We didn't care if there was a position. After the price was right, we went to the first row of the second deck of a ship in the middle. Before the ceremony, some priests will take some VIP guests to the river to hold a ceremony similar to blessing. The whole process is not allowed to wear shoes. Foreign girls who fear the legend of Ganges are allowed to put on shoes. set. After that, the mysterious ceremony began. I think the most beautiful part was after the ignition. Under the light of the fire, the young Brahmin priests were seen. Oh, it was too late to condemn the caste system, and even the beauty of the Brahmin man.

Explore the fantasy capital of India, the holy city 6,000 years ago! After doing this cup of Ganges water under the mist of the Ganges, like a dream of thousands of years ago, never really wake up. It is so old, rich and open, even if the pollutants exceed the standard, it has become a spiritual resort for the local people. Those who bathe in the wash, the ascetic eyes that are closed and contemplative, the sacred cows... It seems that nothing happened and nothing went away. Tips: If you want to see the most authentic morning bath, remember to get to the pier five or six in the morning, you can take a boat ferry or walk. When the sun is gone, it is better to go to the old street to drink lassi, and then start the day.

I imagine the appearance of India more than half in Varanasi Ganges water is clearer than imagined early morning sunrise of the Ganges people feel warm people bathing in the river, chanting, by the river Burning corpse has an extraordinary significance for the Indian Ganges River and the small partners are struggling to distinguish serious and sorrowful sorrows the ancient mysterious night festival is being carried out every day by the uncle's devout eyes The touch such experience is really unforgettable ~

The magical journey of the Ganges Sunrise saw a lot of beautiful buildings, walked through a lot of clean cities, and finally liked Varanasi a little more, Shivas site, the reincarnation of the reincarnation, she was a little dirty But she is also very angry. In this country that only goes to work after 10 o'clock in general, only here, the believers will start a new day's morning. This morning we touched the river under the black, from Hexi all the way to the east, starting with two crematoriums, and watching the scenery of the Ganges twice. The congested ships on the water carry Indian tourists who are hunting tourists and groups to bathe in the country. There are small couples who spend money in the water, young people who have water, young people who do yoga, men and women who bathe and brush. Old and young, washing clothes, playing the piano, and even the grandfather swimming in the game, of course, the famous bottling ceremony, in short, the activities in the Ganges are so rich that they can't see it. I like the "stimulus picture" on the river, and I like the alleys that are intertwined on the shore. Every one is lost, but I can also lead to the Ganges. I like to read the story of Shiva. I remember last year. The Jaffna peninsula in Sri Lanka first came into contact with the Hindu temple, as if it opened the door to this "fantasy world."

At the end of the trip to India, the Ganges Night Festival ended with a continuation of the millennium festival!

Legend has it that the ancient Ganges River was often flooded, and the god of destruction, Shiva, spread long hair, letting the raging river flow slowly from his head, irrigating the fields from all sides. The residents on both sides of the strait are grateful for everything that Shiva has given. For more than 2,000 years, a ritual ceremony was held every day in the holy city of Varanasi. There are 80 large and small river altars on the banks of the Ganges River. The Dasaswameduo River Altar is the main river altar of the Ganges River. Every evening, it is full of excitement, where Christians and tourists gather. This is also the place to watch the night festival. The night festival started at 6 o'clock. At 5 o'clock, the crowd came from all directions, so if you want to take pictures, it is best to grab the position early. An hour of ritual rituals, dressed in red blouses, white base cages, and ceremonial ceremonies facing the Ganges station in a row, sing and clap their hands, solemn and solemn. After singing a paragraph, they went back to their respective altars, accompanied by jingle bells, while picking up the lit incense, the fire candle lighthouse, the cobra torch, the conch, the brass bell, the legal lamp The peacock fan, the oxtail scorpion and other implements danced in four directions from east to west, north and south, throwing holy water and rose petals to the Ganges. Finally, when the ceremony reached its climax, everyone stood up spontaneously and waved his arms in the face of the Ganges. If you come to Varanasi, you must watch the night festival at close range and shake your heart.

If you are nervous about choosing the most worthwhile city to represent India, then Varanasi is definitely the best choice. This is a city called "Light", which is India's most famous pilgrimage site, as the Indians often say: people must come to Varanasi once in a lifetime, must go to Henghe bathing, this The city was called Benares before 1957 and is regarded as a religious shrine of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. According to legend, the city was built by the Hindu god Shiva in the 6th century. The city has more than 1,500 different styles. The Hindu temple, which was recorded in the Xuanzang Westbound Record, has shown the grandeur of the Ganges bathing very early.

The most unforgettable in Varanach, except for the Ganges night festival, and the sunrise, when the sky is slightly bright, when you come to the quiet Ganges, there will be a boatman to solicit business, take a boat to cross this holy The millennium of the city. Varanach will make you feel incomparably cramped and extraordinarily peaceful; it is incredible, incomprehensible, and deservingly and intoxicated. Its ancient, mysterious, rich religious atmosphere, gorgeous humanity and fresh worldly feelings make you marvel at the holy land on the banks of the Ganges.

Varanasi is an "inconceivable" holy place that allows you to realize India in an instant. When you watch the sunrise and sunset on the banks of the Ganges River and listen to the holy music, the occasional blurry travels in front of you will make you seem to travel through thousands of years. With a moment of gaze, you can see the poems of life from birth to death. In the eyes of Hindus, life has four fun living in Varanasi, making sages, drinking Ganges water, worshiping Shiva, three of them in Varanasi.

Shiva greets the Varanasi in the Ganges River. It is a Hindu pilgrimage to India. Every day, tens of thousands of Hindus go to the Ganges to bathe and hold religious ceremonies. It is said that the Ganges water can prolong life, and bathing in the Ganges can wash away the sins of a lifetime. At the end of the Ganges River, the end of life, or cremation, water burial, the future will enjoy the endless, and with the goddess of the Ganges ascend to heaven. Every year, many people in India go to the Ganges River to bathe in the Ganges. The bathers also use the utensils to transport the Gang River to their hometown collections.

The magical India, as one of the four ancient civilizations, has a culture and a long history. The Ganges River, this ancient river carries too many cultural imprints. The Hang River Night Festival, as one of India's grand events, is worth everybody who wants to travel to India. Waranaxi is a religious place for Hindus. Here, the Ganges River may be covered with dirty mess in my eyes, but in the hearts of Hindus it is a pure holy land. On the banks of the Ganges, a ritual ceremony is held every night. The ceremony starts at 7:00, and the steps on the shore and the riverside boats are crowded with people who come to watch. The ceremony lasts about an hour, and the priests do all kinds of rituals. This is the best way for us to understand true Hinduism. The world is big, come out and take a walk.

I have to say that the steps of the Ganges River are like a colorful stage. The crowds coming and going are not repeated, and the actors are never the same. So walking on the steps every day, always followed by a voice: what's your name? where are you from? where are you going? Where to go from here, such a philosophical question does not know how many times to think, so advanced I have not figured out the answer myself. Every single girl who arrives in India is almost always talked about. These words are almost used by Indian men as a conversation. Too many times will make people feel anxious. There are of course exceptions. There are many examples of girls marrying a happy life along the Ganges River, such as Kumiko, the owner of the famous Japanese Youth Hostel. The atmosphere of this holy city is neither the agitation of the city nor the ethereal spirit of the practice, familiar but strange, very erratic, different from anywhere, but it gives people a magical Mysterious feeling. Everyone is still returning to the boat and returning to the place where the sky turns from orange to blue. This is a quiet and peaceful morning, which opens up another day of the monks.

In the morning, Varanasi was quiet and serene, only the mysterious mantra of the low male voice Mantra (the word of truth) came from the temple. These deep humming feelings are like a background sound that keeps reminding you that everything that happens is radiant, but the sound of a dog is just a play. The sky at 6:00 is already orange. The sun rises from the Ganges River. The little round orange is yellow. The light and heat have not kept up. It is only gentle and lazy. At 6:15, the sun has risen very much. Taller. There is nothing new under the sun, and the old and ancient VARANASI meets new curiosities day by day.

Indians can almost always have a relationship with the Ganges, although the number of bacteria in this river can be astounding in the world. Young You may be able to wash away the past life in the Ganges under the leadership of the elders. Sin middle-aged may watch an unprecedented sunset of the Ganges River at the Ganges River After death, it may be directly promoted to the Ganges but the Ganges River and the Ganges after the burnt temple was burned Morning baths are an extremely sacred thing for Hindus; for me, this beautiful scenery on the river, all kinds of humanities and customs, are the reasons I like here not sleeping late. Every morning in Varanasi belongs to the Ganges River, waiting for a magnificent sunrise on the river, watching people coming to the morning bath This may be the reason why I love India so much.

The Ganges River is the most sacred and respected mother river that Indians regard, just like the Yellow River in China. The Ganges River originates from the Himalayas and the upper waters are clear and can be drunk directly. After flowing into India and passing through many cities, its drainage area accounts for 26% of India's total land area, raising about 500 million Indians. Throughout the Ganges, whether in the upstream, midstream, or downstream, or in the spring, summer, autumn and winter, there is always a Hindu migration in the bath. People in India drink the water from the Ganges. Chinese tourists must pay attention when taking pictures, because there are some ascetic monks in the Ganges, and if they are photographed they will come over and ask for money, and it is not cheap. I have raised a wake-up call: When you encounter an ascetic monk, you must hide away from it. Otherwise, your wallet will not be guaranteed. In fact, many places of tourism will have such a place where people are very crowded. If you go out, you must pay more attention to these things, or else you should When such a thing happens, it will make people feel bad.

Varanasi, who arrived twice, once collapsed, once fearless, and unchanged, was thinking about the conflict between ancient institutions and modern civilization. I don't know if it's still the third time, but the traces of people and the city will be with you for a lifetime. The Ganges River Basin is one of the birthplaces of Indian civilization. She is not only the holy river of Hinduism today, but also the place where Buddhism was born in the past. There are still a large number of Buddhist holy places. Goodbye, Ganges water. Goodbye, the holy city of Varanasi.

At the beginning of the night, the ceremony of the most sacred priest of the river gods in Varanasi is about to begin. For all ancient civilizations, the rivers that raised them must be the focus of the priests. Since the beginning of humanity here, Varanasi has never interrupted this sacred priesthood. Every priest selected is from India. The brahman in the top of the society, the pure Aryan race, the music is ringing, the curtain is opened, and the past and present of India are on the scene, in the hands of these handsome Brahmin priests...

In the 12th year of the most important day of the Alabhad Great Pot Festival, which was attended by 70 million people, standing on Jiangxin Island, the whole land was a Hindu, and more than 10 kilometers of arcs were merged from the two rivers. shape. With such a density, it is filled with three layers and three layers. The big megaphone plays music and various chanting in high decibels. The scene is very hot. In addition to the devout bathing, two bottles of Ganges water are taken away. Pay attention to the dense dots behind you, that is the main venue opposite the island, the 70 million people of the big pot festival ceremony.

If it wasn't for a long time in the Varanasi Ganges, I wouldn't have imagined that the Ganges had such beautiful scenery. For those who like the Ganges, the Ganges holy bath is concentrated near the Shiva Temple in Vananasi. The riverside is full of people. The believers from the Indian circle have a holy bath in the river. There are men and women. There are old and young, there are clothes to wash, there are arrangements, there are shaves, there are various items for sale, there are gold rush, there are burning bodies, the degree of clutter is unimaginable. However, if you go a little further, you will find that the natural scenery of the Ganges is really beautiful, and there are many waterfowls on the river. As a populous country, India's overall labor force is extremely surplus, which is visible from the dense rivers that are parked by the Ganges River. Although there are more tourists visiting the Ganges by boat, there are more cruise ships on the river, and some boats may not find a tourist one day. Therefore, the cost of chartering is extremely cheap. I often see people feeding the waterfowl in the Ganges by the river. These waterfowl feel that they are not afraid of human beings, and it is very interesting to be surrounded by people who feed.

More ancient than Varanasi, the mother of India, the Ganges River flows slowly from here, and on the banks of the Ganges

There are many kinds of imaginations for the Ganges, and even if you haven't been to the minds of the Ganges, you can make up a myriad of pictures, but never thought that it is such a picture, the Ganges of the Sun in the sunrise. The Ganges in winter feels colder. When I went out, I wore very thick clothes, but I came to the Ganges River early and found that there are already many Indians in the Ganges who are taking a bath. Among them are men. There are old and young women, and they have touched the temperature of the Ganges water with their hands. Some of them are biting, and their behavior is unimaginable in an instant. The Ganges River in the morning is a little foggy. It is thought that the sun is in a high position in the sky when there is no sunrise. In an instant, the Ganges has different colors and feelings. It is bathed in the Ganges River at sunrise. For photographers only, it is a pleasure for those who enjoy the holy bath in the Ganges! In addition to the holy bath, there are more laundry workers by the river. It is hard to imagine that in such a poor world, there are people who give clothes to others to wash, and the scale is unimaginable. To know if it is not so Washing machines in developed countries are also very common. At this time, it is especially recommended to rent a boat and raft on the Ganges River. It feels very beautiful. A boat is about 200 rubles, an hour enough to enjoy the scenery of the Ganges.
