Manikanica River altar, when you arrive at Varanasi, you may come to see this altar, which is actually the burnt temple. Just next to the Ganges River, it is smoky every day, and the smell is relatively large. Just take a look. Although I don't understand these, I still feel more respectful. The Ganges River can also be seen by boat, and there is also this tourism project. There are more liars on the shore, lobbying you for various paid visits, pay attention to not be fooled.

The legendary Varanasi, the holy place by the Ganges River, shuttles in the alleys 1, 2 meters wide, motorcycles, bicycles, god dogs, god cattle are with you everywhere, car horns are unbridled, the dust is everywhere, and you have to be careful with the cow dung on the ground at any time. It feels like going to Kathmandu [skipping] the holy place that cannot be missed - the Manikanika River Tank (the burner on the Ganges River), to the right time, one is burning, one is ready to fire [spit], saying that it is respect for the dead and not allowed to take pictures, it is hypocritical, There are many locals who are accommodating tourists nearby. Just give money, explain and take pictures. I didn't care, and I still finished the visit!
Manika Nika River Temple is a place to deal with death. Out of respect, we do not take pictures. Of course, natural psychological factors are also hurried to leave at a glance. If you are interested, you can come and experience it in person.
I went there a few years ago and had a good chance to see it again.
Manikanika Ghat, one of the oldest river altars in Varanasi and a Hindu crematorium site, was unknowingly approached along the river bank. Hindus believe that if the ashes can be thrown into the Holy River, the Ganges, after death, the soul will be transcended and sublimated, and life will be reincarnated. Whether rich or poor, farewell to this life and this life will gather here, waiting for the last moment to come. The buildings above the river altar are filled with dying people, and bodies are carried through the alleys at any time. The riverbank was piled with timber, and a large scale stood prominently beside it, weighing and discussing its price. Rich people can buy good timber, poor people or vagrants only wait to die nearby after gas breakdown before the government comes out to collect cremation. Passing through here, seeing this scene, I can't help thinking that the end of a person's life is just the conclusion of weighing and discounting timber as a coffin. Out of curiosity, the scene of burning corpses and throwing ashes by the river was taken with a long-focus camera, which was of course forbidden locally. Yu Qiuyu wrote a lot of derogatory remarks about what he had seen in the Ganges River. In the eyes of the Ganges River, this group of people who are in rags and rags every morning and are waiting for death by the river for a long time. After death, they still leave the residues of their lives floating in the river and show off what they really are. As a mortal on the journey, I can only look at what happened in the ancient country with an ordinary mind. If you have different visual thinking, you can only respect the wishes of the local people first. Mr. Yu's aesthetic vision may have been violently impacted here, and the reaction is understandable.
A very lively place on the Bank of the Ganges River. At night, the devout Hindus begin their night sacrifices here. They sing hymns in unison. During the day, they can also visit the Ganges by boat. It is a place with local cultural characteristics.
