Varanasi is not for the faint hearted. The traffic, pollution, massive crowds and yes the vehicle horning! I could dream about it all night. As much as the worst is amidst in the open with no ending, the quiet and tranquil of river Ganges are a total contrast. The Ghats nearby are where the dying hope to catch their last breathes and get their dead body cremated in. The Hindus believe Ganges River is the best and holiest place in this earth to be cremated. Anyone whom take the ritual and bathe in the Ganges will stop reincarnating.
I bought the Indian sweets and it’s indeed “SWEET” but I love it. Maruti Guesthouse is very hospitable; Papu the owner is friendly and helpful. Thrifty, his wife is a good cook and amicable. Shruti, their daughter is very chatty and intelligent.
I visited Banaras Hindu University - a very green and peaceful campus which is where the Bharat Kala Bhavan, a museum of Art and Archeology situated.
Surprisingly, they have a few Ghandhara, Kushan Buddhsit sculpture. Amazing!
