Varanasi

Varanasi. One of the oldest inhabited cities in the world and the holiest place in India.

After arriving by train I made my way to a hotel, I explored, and found. Within a couple hours I met two friends from pushkar and also found some interesting people around my hotel. I met a man, shiva, who's offered me a nice place to stay, and is open to helping me with my photography. Many of the sadhus in varanasi are "fake" and not true sadhus. Meer beggars. Shiva is working on getting me a one on one with a Naga Sandhu.

There's a festival going on for the next nine days in varanasi for shiva (not the hotel man, the Hindu God..) which gives me great opportunity to get some shots. Varanasi is busy as all of India is, but I really like it. It's got a uniqueness to it unlike anywhere iv been before. Afterwards we will be taking the train and bus to Nepal.
