Description
Varanasi, India - October 4, 2015: Pilgrims bathing in Dasaswamedh Ghat Varanasi. The river is considered holy by Hindus. It is venerated as Goddess Ganga and bathing in their waters is considered a ritual that offers respect to the Goddess and internal purification. If this ritual is done in Varanasi it is even more powerful as this is the holiest city of the Jain and Hindu religion.
