Dawn Boat Ride and Old City Walk
Varanasi
Swift and all beautiful art thou, O Surya, maker of the light, Illuming all the radiant realm - Hymn to the Sun God, from the Rig Veda
As dawn breaks in the Holy City of Varanasi, it illuminates the ancient ghats built on the banks of the Holy Ganges and covers the city in a pious glow. The Old city has a fascinating array of markets, temples, Ghats and what not, that takes one back various centuries.
