Varanasi Tour from Delhi with Ganga Arti

Pick up from the hotel at 5:30 am and proceed to ghat to enjoy the morning Boat ride at the time of Sunrise. Every morning at dawn, hundreds of worshipers can be seen bathing in the sacred waters. The great river banks are lined with an endless chain of stone steps — the ghats — that stretch from one end of the city to the other. Believing that anyone who dies in the river of life in Varanasi gains freedom from the cycle of birth and death, the site has become a haven for the sick and aged waiting out their final days. The smoke that billows from the crematoriums on the edge of the river gives testimony to their final release from life's earthly confines—your boat docks at Manikarnika (Cremation) Ghat. On any given day, anywhere from a few dozen to a few hundred corpses are cremated here; the ghat is assiduous with activity as the cremated bodies throw up smoke and fire and after they come back hotel, has breakfast. After breakfast explore Varanasi. Bharat Mata (temple of Mother India). Mahatma Gandhi features a huge marble map of India on the ground floor inaugurated. After Bharat Mata Temple visits The New Kashi Vishwanath Temple. It is modern in design and open to Hindus and non-Hindus alike. Surrounded by palm trees, it is a white marble structure that shines in the afternoon sun against a pale blue sky. Inside, the temple is spacious and airy.
