Welcome back to Varanasi. This time we are taking a walk after lunch (well late lunch) towards the ghat to meet up with some friends and wait for the Ganga Aarti to begin.
The video will be all about the ceremony that takes place every day at sunset by the river. I filmed it from the main Ghat on my first night.
So I hope you enjoy these clips of Ganga Aart and the peoples devotion to the holy Mother Ganga (the river Ganges).
A new video is out. This time I’m in Chennai, Tamil Nadu India.
Take a look. 🙂
Mumbai Dhobi Ghat has been called, and is still in some places, the world’s largest outdoor laundry.
I don’t know if it still is, but it is a large area.
I got there, to the laundry place, rather late mostly due to my fondness of a good hotel breakfast. 😉
So I arrived around 9:30 am and they had just finished the daily laundry and everybody was washing themselves instead. Much to my dismay, since I really don’t want to bother people in their “bathroom”. Once the surprised settled and I started talking to people they invited me in and some actually wanted pictures as they were bathing/washing themselves.
I spent about an hour at the laundry before I headed towards Mumbai again.
I decided to walk back “blind”, that’s to say I didn’t want to look at the map… just walk and experience the streets/neighborhoods and try to find some photos. Those photos are on my Street Photography site framingthestreet HERE
Here’s a couple of photos from Dhobi Ghat Laundry in Mumba during this short visit. Take my advice, and go early.
And finally the cute kittens…

Another video from my trip to India 2024
I met these guys on the train to Varanasi and they were recording a video on the train, they included me in that as well. A couple of days later I met up with them in Varanasi as they were filming.
