Dasaswamedh ghat

This is the main ghat in Varanasi. There are about 365 ghats, or so I was told, in Varanasi, many built by wealthy Maharajas in front of their palatial estates. Those estates are now subdivided and rented out or in disrepair, giving Varanasi a decaying elegance like that of Venice -- just don't mind the floating bodies in the water.
