Varanasi, one of the oldest living cities in the world, is the spiritual heart of India. Situated on the banks of the sacred river Ganges, it is a chaotic, colorful, and deeply moving city of temples, ghats, and pilgrims seeking purification. An early morning boat ride on the Ganges is a quintessential experience, revealing the city's ancient rituals of life and death unfolding on the riverbanks. The evening Ganga Aarti ceremony at Dashashwamedh Ghat is a spectacular and powerful display of faith. Exploring the narrow, winding alleyways of the old city is an adventure in itself.
