VARANASI: A PHOTO BONUS

Considering it's one of the oldest cities on the planet, Varanasi is pretty photogenic. Here are a few shots from our two visits...
We know, another sadhu photo. 
This kind-faced boatman offered us a ride.
It's not all pretty. Cows, dogs, and a man in a blue t-shirt dig through a pile of garbage in the street.
Just one of the many amazing murals that cover the concrete walls along the Ganges.
A pilgrim sits on the side of his boat. No doubt he is "healthy breathing."
The fire and music show that takes place on the Main Ghat each evening at dusk.
An artist captures the "washing of the buffalo" on canvas.
