Varanasi


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,

chris
