Old Bazaar of Varanasi

Many people come to Varanasi , or Benares, believing that everything in the Indian city goes through its ghats on the Ganges, or 'Ganga'. In some ways they have a point: The sacred river and everything that happens in its banks holds overwhelming power. But Varanasi has a lot more to discover. This city, whose age is uncertain, has an old, engaging and vital Bazaar that seems to be open continuously. Getting lost in its narrow streets among huge sacred cows, a lot of dirt, kids, rickshaws, motorcycles and a crowd that does not stop is an unforgettable adventure.
