Godaulia

Godowlia o Godaulia, es sin lugar a dudas la zona más caótica de Varanasi, ya que por su área circulan miles de personas, rickshaw, coches, motos etc, sin respetar ningunas de las leyes de trafico, por lo que cruzar de una acera a otra puede convertirse en toda una aventura. Las dos aceras de Godowlia estan repletas de tiendas que venden todas clases de artículos, por lo que podemos decir que es como un Bazar gigante donde puedes comprar todo lo imaginable. Durante el día el sonido de los claxon de los coches es ensordecedor y la polución hace el aire casi irrespirable, hasta que llegas a la zona próxima a los ghats, donde solo está permitido acceder a pié o rickshaw, y por la noche antes de la siete de la tarde, la marea humana se dirige presurosa para poder ocupar un sitio en las escalinatas para poder contemplar la ceremonia del Aarti que se celebra durante todos los días del año. Un consejo, no tratar de cruzar la calle en días de lluvias sin un calzado adecuado..o casi diría sin unas buenas botas de pescador a ser posible, ya que el alcantarillado brilla por su ausencia y el agua puede llegarte hasta las rodillas y arrastra desde animales muertos hasta todos los detritus que puedas imaginar. En los puestos más cercanos al rio, es muy común encontrar garrafas de plástico con agua del Gange, que los peregrinos se llevan de recuerdo o para purificar a los familiares que no han podido ir a la ciudad, así como ofrendas a modo de flores con una vela que se arroja al río iluminándolo con pequeñas motas de luz.

Godowlia or Godaulia, is undoubtedly the most chaotic of Varanasi, since by its circulating area thousands, rickshaw, cars, bikes etc, without respecting none of the traffic laws, so that cross from one sidewalk to another can become an adventure. The two Godowlia sidewalks are packed with shops selling all kinds of items, so you can say it is like a giant bazaar where you can buy everything imaginable. During the day the sound of the horn of the car is deafening and pollution makes the air almost unbreathable, until you get to the area near the ghats, where access is allowed only on foot or rickshaw, and in the evening before seven p.m., the human tide goes hurrying to occupy a place on the steps to watch the Aarti ceremony held every day of the year. One tip, do not try to cross the street in rainy days without proper shoes .. or almost say without good waders if possible, since absent sewer and water can reach you to your knees and crawls from dead animals until all debris imaginable. In the seats closest to the river, it is very common to find plastic bottles with water from the Ganges, which pilgrims take a souvenir or to purify the family who could not go to the city as well as offerings by way of flowers with a candle illuminating thrown into the river with small specks of light.
