Recorded February 10-11, 2013 Varanasi is a city on the banks of the Ganges in the Uttar Pradesh state of North India. A major religious hub in India, it is the holiest of the seven sacred cities in Hinduism and Jainism, and played an important role in the development of Buddhism. During my two night stay in the city I take two different cruises on the Ganges River. The first being just after sunset for the nightly Aarti ceremony. The second was at sunrise as thousands of devout Hindus plunged into the waters of India's holy Ganges River in a ritual they believe can wash away their sins. I also visit Sarnath, the birthplace of Buddhism. Watch my complete India video @ https://youtu.be/y7eZ51ko4Js.
