EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty and spiritual significance of the ghats on the sacred Ganges River in the ancient city of Benares, India, circa 1880s. Benares, also known as Varanasi, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and has been a major pilgrimage site for Hindus for over 3,000 years. The ghats, a series of stone steps leading down to the river, are a focal point for religious rituals and ceremonies. In this image, we see the ghats bustling with activity. People of all ages and walks of life gather here to bathe in the holy waters, cremate their loved ones, and perform various puja (worship) rituals. The ghats are also home to numerous ghatside temples, ashrams, and markets, adding to the vibrant and colorful scene. The Ganges River, considered the holiest river in India, flows gently in the background, reflecting the golden hues of the setting sun. The photograph captures the serene and otherworldly atmosphere of this sacred place, where the past and present converge, and the cycle of life and death continues uninterrupted. The ghats of Benares remain a powerful symbol of India's rich cultural heritage and spiritual traditions, drawing pilgrims and visitors from around the world.
