Varanasi. Where to begin? It was like returning home to India. It was not until I wandered through the winding streets surrounding Varanasi's Ghats, that I realised how much I missed my Indian home - its smells, its colours, its life. As we rowed up the Ganges one evening, I noticed something painted on one of the Ghats. It read something along the lines of 'The Ganga is the heart and soul of India'. A brave statement, but in my opinion, one hundred percent fact. Hopefully my photos can give you a bit of an insight into why, because at the moment I am struggling to put my time in Varanasi into words. For now, let's stick with 'breathtaking'.
