Varanasi: The Mystic Confluence.

The confluence of man and nature:
People pass by the ghat where bodies are cremated, as birds, humans and nature freeze the frame in harmony. According to Hindu myth, the ones cremated here find heavens and a holy dip washes ones sins but ironically the mystic philosopher Kabir falsified this by leaving Varanasi before his death so that the masses believe in truth rather than myth.
