At last! We are done with the classes and its time to go somewhere else. This time, we are traveling to one of the seven sacred cities (Sapta Puri) in Hinduism and Jainism: Varanasi.
Every year, millions of people visit the city to bath in the Ganges and wash away a lifetime of sins. In those same waters, people are burned, clothes are washed and so animals.
Varanasi, also known as Benares, Banaras or Kashi, is a city on the banks of the Ganges in Uttar Pradesh, 320 kilometres southeast of the state capital, Lucknow.
We will be there for a couple of days. I’m extremely curious to what we are going to find there. Looking forward for the local cuisine, pujas and the Ganges itself.
Hopefully, I’ll come up with a new post within next week.
