at mid-december I was crossing the boarder between Nepal and India,
and next morning I arrived in Varanasi, the holy city of Hinduism.
For those who don’t know, the city is situated on the boarder of the Ganga river,
who take a bath in this sacred water get purified, spiritualy.
It is also a place were a fire started more than 3000 yeras ago is still kept alive and used for the burning of dead people, the custom for hindus. It is believed that if after your death you get cremated here on the side of the Ganga, you break up the cycle of reincarnation.
Here’s some drawings and pictures:
