Sarnat is a one of 4 major Buddhist holy place. There were Many Tibetan pilgrim. Praying Tibetans in front of Damesek Stupa Sarnat's famous pagoda.





After noon, we went Ghanges tour. Very narrow streets in Varanisi.
We had a hard time to get out of the narrow street. 

At last, Ghanges was in my sight. Holy river, Mother Ghanga. Many Hindu pilgrims were there with religious posture.

Some women putting on clothes after bathing in the Ghanges.

Dashaswamet Ghat. Really crowded with people bathing or praying.

Our old sisters in amazed mood.


Indians seem to like bathing in the water.

A girl selling Dia(flower dish). Her name is Ricca.

We had a boat tour to Burning Ghat(Manikarnika Ghat)


Burning Ghat. No close photo allowed. because it is sort of a riligious ritual.

In the evening, we had a boat tour one more time. All members joined. We watched Puja(Hindu religious ritual) from boat. It was fantastic.

Little boy in our member.


Some boys got on the boat to sell Dia. we bought some dias and flow them onto the Mother Ganges.

Because of Hindu festival at Alahabad, the platform was crowed with Indians.


Not enough tickets. We had to sit on a board with 3 members.
1 board 3person experience!!!
The train was really crowded!!!



After a while some passengers got off. We could lay down 2person on 1 board.

Like a rolling stone. Once upon a time you dressed so fine..


The train slowly moved to varanati. Some time later, we could occupy a board with one person.It was most impressive experience in India, I thought.

We arrived at Varanasi about 6 p.m. After dinner, we walked to Dashaswamet Ghat. The Main Ghat of Varanasi. We reached the heart of India!
