Dawn boat ride on the Ganges at Varanasi

Varanasi 25 May 1986

Took a dawn boat ride on the Ganges. The oarsman took me on a leisurely one hour trip to each end of the ghats. Surprised to see Gangetic dolphins breaching the surface. Tranquil scenes of people  bathing, pilgrims offering puja and dhobi wallah’s beating the laundry before the heat of the day builds.
