Varanasi, the Ghats:	November, 2015	next Varanasi
There are 84 ghats along the Ganges in Varanasi.  Most of them have a little mini-temple	Another mini-temple	Nicely built into the steps	Nice location and a grafitti wall
Drying laundry out on the steps	The boats are for watching ceremonies from the water	Organized laundry project	Swimming to get purified
Evening ceremony just starting	Maybe a few thousand on the steps and more in the boats, and this is just one ghat	People watch in groups and in smaller boats like we did	The largest of the two crematoriums in Kashi
How come the leader gets the umbrella?	Random crowd shot at the end of some celebration, just lots of people	Fuel for the crematorium	There are some nice buildings at the top of some of the ghats
