153rd Post : Ghats of Benaras.
The Ghats of Benaras (Varanasi) have always attracted me because of their unique character that only this 3000+ years old, holy city can offer. The pilgrims, the sadhus, the vagabonds, the snake charmer boys, the poor men waiting to receive alms from the devotees, the boats, the stairs, the chaiwallas, the health conscious persons practising yogas & other physical exercises, the mundane tasks the priests and preachers perform, the infinite number of stairs leading to the famous 'gullies' or lanes of Benaras, the Sandhya-aarti or evening prayer and above all, the vastness of river Ganges or Ganga that kisses the ghats at every opportunity - have kept me wondering with astonishment and awe! The stories of Benaras ghats seem to be endless.
The colour, the textures, the lines, the compositions and the stories the Ghats weave throughout the day and night - caught my fancy ever and waited for my finger to click the camera 'shutter' at the opportune or decisive moment. I wish to 'share' some of my recent pictures on Benaras Ghats through this 153rd posting. I also wish to take this opportunity to thank you all - 12,575 viewers of my Blog worldwide. Please 'click' each individual picture to view enlarged image of the same.
Happy viewing.
