We made it just in time for a mini Ganga arati at Assi ghat. Peaceful and simple arati, also felt a bit staged for the tourists. Nevertheless, it was an experience. Yet to visit the Dasashwamedh ghat Ganga arati, so more pics coming up. Any offbeat place worth visiting ?? #travel #fernweh #varanasi #banarasiya #ghatsofbenaras #ganges #rituals #holidays #christmasvacation #travelbychumbak (at Assi Ghat) https://www.instagram.com/p/BdDfFLKALk9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zjd6nw8hrmqp

Voir Varanasi et mourir…C'est dans cette ville chaotique que les indiens font leur dernier voyage pour finir leur vie au crematorium de Manikarnika Ghat et être immergé dans le Gange. On dit que le feu ne s'éteint jamais à Varanasi, le crematorium tourne H24 depuis plus de 2000 ans. Les indiens issus des castes les plus hautes brûlent en hauteur et ceux des castes les plus basses aux abords du Gange, les intouchables seuls autorisés à s'occuper de la crémation…

Le Puja, la cérémonie d'offrande de la lumière au Gange y a lieu tous les soirs sur le Dasashwamedh Ghat.

Varanasi, c'est surtout l'Inde comme on se l'imagine, dans toute sa splendeur et avec tout ses contrastes : beaucoup de monde, de bruit, de pollution et de déchets, de mendicité et d'arnaques. On y voit des vaches à chaque coin de rue mais aussi des tissus magnifiques (ville de la soie), des monuments splendides, de très belles cérémonies religieuses, de bons petits restos indiens (où thalis, dosas et lassis sont au rendez vous) et énormément de sourires 😃!

Il nous semble impossible de rester indifférent aux nombreux charmes de cette ville, pourtant si clivante autour de nous...

There must either be “you” living in this body or God living in this body. Who does better? Bear in mind it was God’s house in the first place. Where did “you” come from?

Built from Chunar sandstone, the Ramnagar Fort looks majestic and, of a strong defence, is the best place to visit on the banks of the River Ganga. It was built in the year 1750 by Raja Balwant Singh and displays the Mughal-type of architecture. Currently, Raja Anant Narayan Singh stays in this huge fort. A lot of area in the fort is now converted into a museum that displays swords, ornaments, palanquins made from pure gold and silver, artefacts made of Ivory and intricate elephant saddle designs.

Pray A Tribute to Dashashwamedh Ghat

Famous for its Ganga Aarti, which takes place every evening, Dashashwamedh Ghat is considered to be the most devotional Ghat of Varanasi. A mythological story says that Lord Bramha had once sacrificed ten horses in a religious ceremony at this Ghat, from which the name of the Ghat is fixed to Dasashwamedh Ghat. The chants on the rhythm of bells, conch shells and other Indian traditional instruments take you in a trance phase.

Relish The Local Food

Varanasi is known to eat sweets during all their meals. If you are a roadside food lover, you should really try your hands at eating Kachori Sabzi as your breakfast. Also, don’t forget to hog on the gol-gappes and Choora Matar. Now to the main part in eating, the sweets. Relish the delicacies like Mailayo, Rabrdi, Lassi, and Nimish during your stay at Varanasi without fail! Roam the streets with a car hire in Varanasi with Chiku Cab and keep relishing the food!
