The faithful

The faithful
A rowboat with the faithful lighting candles floats down the Ganges River in Varanasi, India. Varanasi is considered to be a holy city by Buddhists and Jains, and is viewed as the holiest place in the world by Hindus who believe that it was founded by the Hindu deity, Lord Shiva, around 5,000 years ago. It is believed to be one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world.
