Varanasi - Prayag Ghat on a Rainy Morning

Overflowing with devotees that come to offer their prayers day and night, the Prayag Ghat is a significant ghat in Varanasi. Located on the immediate left of the Dashashwamedh Ghat, it was built by Balaji Bajirao in 1778 and is a replica of the Prayag holy city in Allahabad. Fortune tellers, seated under rattan umbrellas, read fortunes for the visiting pilgrims.
