[2025 Ghazipur Attraction] Travel Guide for Ganga River (Updated Jul)

#springsummergoodplace2024 If someone asked me what was the most shocking scenic spot during my travels? The Ganges River is probably one of them As the mother river of India, although the Ganges has been very polluted in recent years, in the hearts of Indians, it is a holy river given by the Indian God, and it is a place that must be visited once in a lifetime. A large number of people come in every early morning, and the shore is already brightly lit before dawn. Many people buy bouquets of flowers and dress up and bathe in the river. At the same time, there are people washing clothes and brushing teeth nearby. Sometimes cows will also soak in the river. In the middle of the distant river, someone is scattering the ashes of freshly incinerated corpses. Very very shocking! Whenever you go to a place, what you should do as a traveler is to try your best to understand the local culture. It can only be said that the Ganges River cannot replace the absolutely sacred existence in the hearts of Indians! #IndiaTravel #GangesSunrise#Must-come-once-in-a-lifetime #Shocking experience

#hiddengems Since long time ago, the Ganges river has been the most holiest and sacred river in Hinduism religion that over millions of local people and foreign Hindu believer will visit this place where they believe taking a bath or have a body dip in the river will help cure any illnesses. However, as there are many sewages poured into the river everyday, it has gradually became polluted as only partial of it had gone through some water treatment and nowadays, it is 1 of the most polluted river in the world. Still, people who come will bathe here but it is not that recommend as it can be dangerous with the polluted water. As a tourists, if you are not taking shower here, I would more recommend to chase the sunrise in the very early morning taking the boat and guarantee you wont be disappointed with the stunning sunrise view over the water!!

First visit to India! The first stop is Varanasi, the holy city of India! It happened to be the Kumbh Mela held every 12 years in India when I went there! It was packed everywhere! Crowded! All of them were devout Hindus! Wear old clothes! Put on new saris after bathing in the Ganges! It symbolizes a new beginning! Wash away all the bad things! If it weren't for the festival, this would be a slow and leisurely religious holy place! The most unaccustomed thing when I first arrived in India was the sound of horns It never stopped! Apart from the hygiene conditions, it is still worth a visit!

#Let'sGoOverseas I went to the very famous Ganges River in India! There were many people bathing here, so it's clear that it is a sacred river. It gets very crowded, so it's recommended to go early in the morning. Be careful of the many pushy sellers. 📍Location: near Lalita Ghat, Ghats of Varanasi, Lahori Tola, Varanasi, Domari, Uttar Pradesh 221001 India

#Southeast Asia Flight Ticket Event Varanasi's night is also as splendid as any other city. It was nice to take a leisurely boat tour at night and see the various night views of Varanasi on the Ganges River. However, if it hadn't rained so much... It would have been nice. Still, I feel refreshed ~

#Southeast Asia Flight Ticket Event I think the Indians here call the Ganges River Ganga... I don't know much about it. Anyway, during the day, there were a lot of people swimming or taking boat tours. Tourists were taking pictures diligently. And right now it seems that there aren't many foreign tourists here. I don't see many people ~

#Southeast Asia Flight Ticket Event It seems like more people gather at the Ganges River in the evening. People who come to pray for wishes at the Ganges River. And people who come for sightseeing. People who enjoy it in their own way. People who express happiness in various ways... They express it on their faces.

#Southeast Asia Flight Ticket Event A shallow rainbow appeared in the Ganges River. It was too faint to see, but it was definitely a rainbow. The Ganges River here looks a little unpurified to us. However, the Indians feel that this river has medicinal properties.

#WinHongKongTickets The Ganges River in India is full of records of human history We arrived at the Ganges River in Varanasi, a place where we stayed for a whole day, from day to dusk, witnessing all the big and small activities of the Indian people. The Ganges River, known as the Mother of India, is sacred to the Indians. You can feel the respect that the Indian people have for the Ganges River locally. They will soak their whole bodies in the river and pray. Even the deceased are cremated beside the Ganges. In addition to visiting the crematorium, we also experienced the local prayer ceremony and felt the local Indian civilization. We also felt that the river water was very dirty and weird, but that was their life.

《India Tour · Narangarh Fort》 Built in the 17th century, it is a fortress made of red sandstone and marble. There are not many historical stories about it, but looking at its architectural scale, it is very luxurious for a garrison fortress alone. It is located in Varanasi, North India, on the east bank of the Ganges. If you go from the west bank of the Ganges (which is the main tourist area where people often bathe by the river 😆😆😆) It takes about 20 minutes by tuk-tuk. It is very large and no tickets are required to enter, but there are additional museums inside. The average ticket price is about NT$100 per person. Photography is not allowed in the museum, so there are no photos of the museum. #IndiaTravel #NorthIndia #Vanalash #NarangarhFort #EastBankofGanges

The Ganges River in Varanasi, India was really dirty, but it was a pity that I didn’t see the corpse burning ceremony. But I did encounter the Islamic worship ceremony every day. There were so many people and it was so crowded.

One of the ways to pray for the Ganges is to send chrysanthemum lanterns into the water It is said that Hinduism regards light as the incarnation of God, and the flame symbolizes the wisdom of God to dispel the darkness of ignorance and enhance the spiritual realm. In addition to setting off chrysanthemum lanterns, there is another business opportunity near the Ganges, which is selling "empty cans" to hold the holy water of the Ganges for friends and relatives who cannot come.

Ganga river

The Ganges is one of the longest and most important rivers in India, as well as the most sacred river in Hinduism and is known as the "Mother of India". Here are some of my experiences traveling on the Ganges: 1. Bathing ritual: Bathing in the Ganges is considered a sacred act that purifies the body, mind and soul. In cities like Varanasi, you can take part in ritual bathing in the Ganges, an important ritual of the Hindu faith, or watch locals perform prayers and ceremonies on the banks. 2. Boat Tour: You can rent a boat and cruise along the Ganges to admire the cultural landscape and architecture along the river. You can also listen to the tour guide’s explanation of the history and legends of the Ganges. 3. Pilgrimage: There are many Hindu holy sites and temples along the Ganges, such as Varanasi, Haridwar, etc. You can go to these places for pilgrimage and learn about Hindu culture and beliefs. 4. Water Activities: There are also some water activities available on the Ganges, such as boating, rafting, etc., which allow you to experience the scenery and atmosphere of the Ganges more deeply. In general, the Ganges is an important symbol of Indian culture and religion. If you want to understand Indian culture and beliefs, the Ganges is a very worthwhile place to visit. How can you be considered to have been to India if you haven't been to the Ganges? #India #Overseas Travel #Cultural Travel #travel #Ganges #Varanasi

The Ganges is a sacred river that symbolizes India, and the river itself is deified and worshipped. Hundreds of cremations take place along the Ganges in Varanasi every day, and many travelers from all over the world visit the area to see India's view of life and death. There is a crematorium nearby. I was called out to and followed. It was the first time I had ever thought so much about death. At the end, I was told that it would cost a lot of money for the firewood, so I was told that it was okay to refuse, even though it might be painful. I paid it. I thought it was a good tip. I don't know if the person would pay for the firewood properly, though. ⭐︎Location Varanasi Even if you don't bathe there, you can feel something there. I thought there were many things you wouldn't understand unless you went there. #India #Ganges #Varanasi

Varanasi, India, is known as the land of light of the gods. On the banks of the Ganges in the morning, watching the sun on the other side rise slowly, and when the light shines on the ancient and magnificent buildings, you will understand the meaning of the city of light. Mark Twain once commented on the sunrise of the Ganges River: as long as you have seen it once, even if it is only a momentary look, no one will be willing to exchange this short glimpse with other landscapes in the world. In the movie "Gravity", George Clooney suddenly saw the scene of the Ganges sunrise as he flew deep into the universe, and when the sunrise glowed to the Ganges, the dazzling light It is a landscape that is unmatched by the beauty of the world. The last sentence he left before his life was gone, "When you can't keep going, you should look at the sunrise of the Ganges. It's so beautiful."

In Varanasi, you can find the history of the cremation of the millennium and feel the Indians' belief in the Ganges Varanasi, located on the left bank of the Ganges. It is India's famous historical city and Hindu holy land, and is the "capital" of the Indian spiritual world. Varanasi is close to the Ganges, and countless believers, ascetic and dying people come here to bathe or wait to be cremated to purify their souls. There are more than 1,500 temples and many places of interest, including the Ganges Baths, the Golden Temple of India, the Durga Temple, and the Indian University of Benares. The birthplaces of the two denominations of Sakyamuni and Jainism, which were first introduced by Sakyamuni, are near Varanasi, so Varanasi in the broad sense is an important holy place for Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Waranaxi is spiritually sacred and profound, but at the material level it is chaotic and dirty. In reality, India may be backward, and in my opinion, India is more like a time capsule, and the customs of thousands of years can continue to this day. Including architecture, including customs, including religious customs, is so complete in the long river of history. The whole world is changing at the speed of flying. This is still the case, which is one of the reasons that attracts me. This kind of ancient feeling is the kind of breath that can make you feel at a moment. is the atmosphere of the city. You will want to put down your mobile phone while breathing, sitting under the sun and watching the Ganges daze At that moment, we are all Indians.

India must punch card | Ganges night festival people and God's exchange with the development of human civilization, continues to this day, in the ancient civilization of India, this sacrifice is still the most grand ritual today. The noble Brahmin rituals on the banks of the Ganges will perform the Ganges Night Festival on every river in the evening to thank the Ganges for giving everything to humanity. In addition to the early arrival of the devout Hindus at the venue, the ceremony also attracted the arrival of tourists from all over the world. Ever since, this mysterious and huge ritual has also emerged with a lot of commercial atmosphere. If you want a good location to watch the night festival, as long as you save money, you can sit anywhere. While walking down the steps, I casually bargained. After all, the private boat that provided the landscape location had already stopped at the river bank. We didn't care if there was a position. After the price was right, we went to the first row of the second deck of a ship in the middle. Before the ceremony, some priests will take some VIP guests to the river to hold a ceremony similar to blessing. The whole process is not allowed to wear shoes. Foreign girls who fear the legend of Ganges are allowed to put on shoes. set. After that, the mysterious ceremony began. I think the most beautiful part was after the ignition. Under the light of the fire, the young Brahmin priests were seen. Oh, it was too late to condemn the caste system, and even the beauty of the Brahmin man.
