Whatever may come, the Ganges flows


Devout Hindus would visit the famous Ganges River, located in Varanasi, to conduct rituals and pour ashes of loved ones. – Team Ceritalah

WHEN Sant Kabir, the 15th Century mystic and poet walked out of Benares (now Varanasi, in Uttar Pradesh or UP), he must have known he was leaving for the last time.

Devout Hindus, in the twilight of their lives, have long sought to head towards Varanasi, spending their remaining days in the holiest of cities alongside the holiest of rivers, the Ganges.
