On the Ganges

On the Ganges
At twilight, the boats stand ready to be hired to take tourists and pilgrims out on the Ganges. Varanasi is considered to be a holy city by Buddhists and Jains, and is considered to be the 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.
