My Pilgrimage [Explored]

The stay in Delhi was brief as I had been there before. It is a large congested city, but not the most congested in the world by far. Traffic is much worse in Colombo or Beirut.

 

After a short airline flight, I arrived in Varanasi on the Ganges River. This picture, of course, is filled with symbolism. Taken on the Ganges at sunrise, I was blessed with clear skies.

 

As the sun was rising, my boat man rowed down the banks of the river, lined by gnats on one side and sand on the other side. The river was alive with activity, yet quiet. It seemed that everyone was respecting the desire of others to revel in the holiness of the river and the sacredness of the place.
