About In my recent lone trip to Varanasi, every day I walked across various ghats beside river Ganges to witness the activities around. On my last night there, I just crossed Manikarnika Ghat(most important burning ghat) where a temple remains submerged in water that too in a angle. The sun was going down and the scene reminded me of returning home.

Thanks Avida for providing me this name.

Hi Cas, sorry for replying late. "Ghat" is what we call banks of a river where construction is done so that people can take bath.

In Hinduism when someone passes away, we burn the body..which is said to free the soul so that it can pass to next world. Varanasi as one of the oldest cities in India attracts lot of pilgrims all over India and they believe if one dies in varanasi it's good for their next life. So there are few "ghats" in Varasni where burning of dead bodies takes place and Manikarnika is supposedly the holiest of all :).

Hi Anindya,
This is a lovely B&W shot.
I wish I knew ALL languages of the world...but............
What is a GHAT, and why a "burning" ghat ???
Groete, Cas.
