Varanasi
Here in Varanasi, preparations are heating up for the festival
tomorrow. Last evening I attended a concert of classical Indian music
near the ghats and ran into a fellow traveler that I had met in Delhi.
This morning took me to the Golden Temple of Varanasi with its golden
exterior. Energy is very high there as it has been a spot of high
Muslim/ Hindu tensions, many soldiers lining the streets, and the
energy of those coming to worship, one is carried along by the flow of
pilgrims.
Also to a Nepalese temple this morning, with a shaded place perched
atop the ghats, what a view.
I am at the Elvis, yes Elvis guesthouse, love,
