Fenêtre sur le Gange..India - a photo on Flickriver

            Très tôt le matin,les pélerins,les sadhus,les femmes et les enfants,bref toutes âmes pouvant marcher se rendent sur les ghats,ces escaliers qui descendent au Gange afin de faire leurs ablutions et ainsi se purifier dans le fleuve sacré.
Ils portent souvent avec eux un récipient afin de prélever un peu de nectar du Gange et ainsi arroser statues et lingams (pierre de forme phallique, représentation symbolique de Shiva) disséminés dans la ville sainte.
.
Early morning, pilgrims, sadhus, women and children, in short, all souls can go walk on the ghats, the stairs down to the Ganges to perform their ablutions and so purify themselves in the sacred river.
They often carry with them a container so to levy some nectar and water of the Ganges and statues and lingams (phallic stone, symbolic representation of Shiva) scattered in the holy city.
