Life along the Ganges, a short essay
Harry Fisch
A short photograhic essay on Varanasi and the mystical life along the Ganges. Varanasi is one of the oldest living cities in the world. The holiest of all pilgrimages. It’s the Jerusalem or Lalibela of India. The place where Budha himself came to teach. It was already known 2.500 years ago, before Rome had bekome known. It’s the only city that maintains the same traditions since the 6th Century B.C. In the ghats, along the river Ganges, between temples and shrines, you can feel the drama and beauty of life and death. This is were pilgrims from all over India come to worship and bath.
