The burning goes on and on

The burning in the ghats goes well onto midnight and it seemingly never stops.

Praying chanting and all the sounds from the temple never stops. A really humbling sight i must say.

People from all over bathing washing and playing in the river. It sometimes seemed just too real that a single river may support all these activities.

Also forgot to add that people who are bitten by cobras also do not get burned as they believed that the poison of the cobra is holy and the person will instead be washed away by the river ganga.

As im writing the ghats are awash with smoke and prayers even at night.

Taking in my kf and taking the sights and sound and the choking smoke.

Simply amazing
