Varanasi draws thousands of visitors every year to witness rituals, faith and belief. Take a boat ride and watch the locals take a dip in the river, pray and meditate by the ghats as the sun rises. As the sun sets over Dashashwamedh Ghat, watch the pandits perform the evening aarti dedicated to Goddess Ganga, Lord Shiva, Agni and Surya. Orange and yellow marigold flowers and large oil lamps float down the river, and the best views of the rituals are from a boat on the water.
