Although it may sound odd we found the cremation ceremony at Varanasi such an uplifting experience.
 |
| Our approach to the Ganges down one of the many 'ghats', animals roaming about as always |
 |
| Our fellow travellers |
 |
| As the light fades we set off down the Ganges |
 |
| The first cremation pyre... |
 |
| ...attended by hundreds who came on boats. |
 |
| People's devotion very evident |
 |
| Aarti (lit offerings) made to float down the river whilst making a wish |
 |
| Time to leave, the ceremonies continuing well into the night |
