Un morceau de Varanasi - a photo on Flickriver

            Varanasi (Inde) - Vue partielle du Gange, bordé par une infime partie de Varanasi. En face, sur la gauche, c’est Dasaswamedh Ghat. L’un des lieux les plus célèbres de l’ancienne Bénarès. A la haute saison des pèlerinages, les hindous affluent par milliers vers ce lieu pour accéder au fleuve sacré.
J’évite d’y aller quand la foule est trop compacte, au point de créer des embouteillages de piétons. La foule indienne peut être oppressante ; mais pas à Dasaswamedh Ghat, où c’est la bienveillance qui règne. Mais je reste malgré tout le plus souvent à distance.

A part of Varanasi

Varanasi (India) - Partial view of the Ganges, bordered by a small part of Varanasi. Opposite, on the left, is Dasaswamedh Ghat. One of the most famous places in ancient Benares. During the peak period of pilgrimages, Hindus flock by the thousands to this place to access the sacred river.
I avoid going there when the crowd is too dense, to the point of creating pedestrian traffic jams. An Indian crowd can be oppressive; but not at Dasaswamedh Ghat, where benevolence reigns.
