Varanasi, India is a world-famous tourist resort city. Every day, thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing and vacation. This time I will introduce a travel guide to Varanasi.
Varanasi is unlike any other place I have been. Here you can find the oldest Indian religious culture, colorful docks, sacred cows wandering around freely, ascetics in different costumes, messy docks, and dilapidated walls. No matter what, this is what Varanasi looks like.
It is recommended to stay here for two days, so as to catch a Ganges sunrise and a Ganges night sacrifice, which will be worth the trip.
Sunrise on the Ganges: Every morning, thousands of Hindus, male and female, young and old, locals and foreigners, come to the Ganges with a pious heart, and walk into the Ganges, hoping to use the holy water to wash away the filth or sins on their bodies, so as to achieve their wish of transcending the mundane world and achieving eternal life in heaven after death.
Ganga Aarti: Every night, many priests hold a ceremony to worship the God of Fire on the bank of the Ganges next to Dasaswamedh Ghat. During the process, different priest utensils will be changed to pay tribute to several gods: Lord Shiva, Lord Ganges, Lord Sun, Lord Fire, and the entire universe, singing and chanting in a low voice. The whole process takes about an hour.
