Varanasi - Part 2 (The City)

Some more shots of Varanasi...
Here's a shot of a local Varanasi woman.
Here's a shot of a local Varanasi man.
Like I mentioned in the previous post, the locals do their laundry in the Ganges.
Big laundry day.
This woman is making cow patties. They use cow shit as kindling for their fires. It must stink.
This is a temple at the University of Varanasi. Like Fredericton, Varanasi is a university town with a nice river running through it. But it is the exact opposite of Fredericton in every possible way.
A cute little puppy.
Here are some of those guys I was talking about last post. Who knows that could be the guy who does the penis and sword trick.There are guys like this everywhere in Varanasi. I guess they are some kind of holy men.
Some fruit.
It was so much fun just walking along the ghats everyday.
