Mar 8, 2010 Varanasi is a holly city for the Hindus. Bathing in river Ganga at one of the many ghats of Varanasi is a holly ritual for hindus and it is believed that it washes all sins away. The other important belief is, that if a hindu dies here and is cremated at one of these ghats and the ashes are washed into the Ganga, the person can leave the cycle of transmigrations and can reach Nirvana. Therefore it is a pilgrimage place, lots of people are coming to bath in the river and a lot comes here to die in Varanasi. Incredible and not forgettable experience to see all these at the ghats, the ceremony of burning a body here, and bathing in the river a few meters away. Watching these activities is repulsive and uplifting at the same time and one can never forget the experience.
