In the four weeks I now have in Varanasi / Sarnath'm there almost every week two or three parties. So many gods such as Hinduism, it seems so many parties here to give.
is usually said to me before each festival, now that the big event is and I see it absolutely must. The next festival is still lots and lots of beneficial and auspicious than the previous ... In fact, I seem to be here and on the ghats of Varanasi is always something going on in celebration of the most intense time of the year!
ubiquitous was the banging in the last few weeks, and not with paltry fireworks, which are produced as with us for some stupid safety regulations. But with real (Probably even to hand craft) bombs. Once or twice is such a thing blew up next to me and made me numb for a few moments. The children in any case have their fun.
A few images of life on the ghats (to enlarge click to contact). The Ghats are not only bathing stairs and place of various ceremonies, but also boat street, wash and dry place, Kuhbadewanne, and hair salon:
A celebration in honor of Krishna. Every inch on the steps, on balconies and houses and the river is busy. After the show trample all happening at once and the shoving and the crowd is perfect once again. The police just look tired and chewing around on their Beteltabak that paints the red spittle.
Yesterday, Dev Dipawali - the great festival in honor of Rama. The complete Ghats are lit by small lights. The Dasaswamedh Ghat is populated by masses on this auspicious full moon day (Purnima Karthik) a piece of the special energy gotten like. The scene, viewed from a boat is truly unique:
