• Travel: Benaras – Part 2- A day of pilgrimage

  

  We walked out of the hotel at 6.00 a.m., fresh, after a good night’s sleep. The weather was cool and the ghats were abuzz with activity- boatmen waiting to ferry people across, a woman singing bhajans (songs in praise of God, like hymns) – her voice echoed through Assi ghat, a group sitting in a […]
