It is not an exaggeration to say that almost half a million of such people reside in this oldest & holiest of cities for Hindus in India. by: photojournal Views[851] At least once in a life time, visit Varanasi and take a holy dip in the river Ganges - this is what a typical Hindu believes in India. Especially, the elderly wait for an opportunity to visit Varanasi, irrespective of their old age, health condition, financial situation etc. by: photojournal Views[603] It is not uncommon to find a widowed elderly woman on the ghats of Varanasi. Most of them find a place at old age homes in the city or earn their livelihood by selling 'chai' (tea) and just live by the ghats under a temporarily arranged hut. by: photojournal Views[630] It is easy to get lost in the narrow alleys of the ancient maze like city of Varanasi and one often finds a kind smiling gentleman who patiently explains the way to reach a place. by: photojournal Views[630]
