Last Day Varanasi

With our last walk-about in Varanasi, I have a sense of relief. Being a prairie girl I have felt somewhat claustrophobic in amongst these narrow alleyways and staircases, super small buildings, our small guesthouse room, small restaurants, with too many people walking about, excessive beeping from motorbikes, too many cows to dodge, too many dogs running around that need to be culled. It is a sensory overload! Varanasi has been an experience to say the least.  I'm glad we came to see it all, but I'm also relieved to leave.

                             We found the barn!

On our last evening we watched the Aarti Ceremony on the Dasawamedha Ghat. It is a ceremony performed every evening at dusk. Fire is offered to Lord Shiva and the Ganges River.
