Ek sunheri raat ho

Tu, mai aur ganga ka ghaat ho

Baatein ho kuch idhar udhar ki

Tere hath me mera hath ho

Had a great short trip to Banaras ✨

Sawan ke mahine mein shiv ki nagri se bulava aa jaye isse badh kar or kya hi ho sakta hai

[aahanna]

ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।

उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान् मृत्योर्मुक्षीय मामृतात्॥

"Sawan in Kashi - A Divine Experience

The holy city of Varanasi comes alive during Sawan, a month of spiritual significance and devotion. The ghats, temples, and streets resonate with the sounds of chanting, bell ringing, and folk music. The sacred Ganges River witnesses countless rituals and offerings. As the monsoon rains pour down, the city's energy intensifies, drawing devotees and seekers into a deep connection with the divine. Experience the magic of Sawan in Kashi, where faith, tradition, and beauty converge."

करम जिसे पुकारे वो पहुँचे गंगा किनारे

मन पावन हो गंगा में डूबे, नहाए मन रावण जो लहरों में तूने बहाए

हर-हर गंगे 🕉️🔱

Oh yeah definitely. Vasuki is sick of it.

For #FishFriday:

The Goddess Ganga

c. 1650-75

India (Mandi, Himachal Pradesh)

opaque watercolor, gold, & silver on paper

on display at Philadelphia Museum of Art

“The Hindu goddess Ganga personifies India's most important river, the holy Ganges, that begins high in the Himalayan mountains and flows south into the Bay of Bengal. Here she holds a vessel brimming with Ganges water while sitting atop an enormous fish — the humpback mahseer, a species of carp native to the Ganges.

Ganga also holds a lotus flower, a symbol of purity and abundance. Mythical creatures peek from the waves and waterbirds soar across dark monsoon clouds.”
