Varanasi......Makar Sankranti Celebration 2018, A Girl Watching Kites

Most Hindu devotees took holy dip in the river Ganga and others enjoyed kite flying to celebrate Makar Sankranti at Varanasi.

 

Benares is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together – Mark Twain.

 

Varanasi or Banaras is one of the oldest cities in the world, which have been constantly inhabited. If we look at the archaeological evidences, remains from the year 1200 BC have been found here. While there are also indications that this city could be living since 3000 BC, or even older. (goseefeel.com/varanasi/brief-history-varanasi-banaras/)
