Varanasi Ghats

Spiritually enlightening and fantastically photogenic, Varanasi is at its best by the ghats, which are long stretches of steps leading down to the water on the western banks of the Ganges River. Most are used for bathing, but there are a couple of burning ghats.

There are a lot of dudes similar to this guy in different getups. I am not sure how authentic they are, but they want you to take their picture for a fee. I snapped this one from a distance.
