After my trip to Ladakh, the only thing I wanted in the next six months was a visit to Varanasi to see the River Ganga and to see the Mahabodhi temple at Bodhgaya. I spent my Christmas eve in 2014 walking by the ghats of the river Ganga. The architecture is quite rich and multicultural owing to the presence of almost every sect, religion and a diversity of people living there. These are some images of places that I found interesting during my aimless meanderings amidst Varanasi and its filthy lanes.
