Guests from Siberia

Quoting from this news article:

As winter descends upon Varanasi, the Ganges River becomes a majestic haven for migratory birds from north and central Asia. The city witnesses a seasonal influx of species like the Siberian Crane and Ruddy Shelduck, turning the landscape into a winter wonderland that attracts bird enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. The sailors of Ganga Ghat have emerged as the dedicated guardians of these avian visitors, playing a crucial role in protecting the birds and ensuring a harmonious coexistence between nature and human activity along the sacred river. Their efforts contribute to the preservation of the unique atmosphere that has made Varanasi a cultural and spiritual hub. Adding to the allure, migratory birds have swarmed the city, enhancing its winter beauty. From November to December, species like the Siberian Crane and Ruddy Shelduck can be easily spotted around the Dashashwamedh Ghat, creating a breathtaking avian haven along the Ganges River.
