The Ganges is the holy river of India, the mother river, with a long history and a strong folk culture. The Ganges turns a corner here in Varanasi. Every morning, thousands of Indians, regardless of men, women, and children, walk into the Ganges with a heart of piety. Men wear crotch and women wear sari. They face the morning sun, bathed in the morning light, and enjoy the faith and pursuit brought to them by their religious faith in the river. They washed away the dirt and sins of their lives with the holy Ganges, and made their lives transcend the entrance to this heaven, and went straight into heaven after death to have eternal life.

Follow the Ganges to the Asi River Tank, which is basically the southernmost river Tank in Varanasi. You can watch the sunrise and sunset of the Ganges River here. The famous Ganges Night Festival is also nearby at night, and it is wonderful to not miss. The river is as dirty as ever, but this is also the characteristic of the Ganges. There are many pilgrims bathing here, and you can also take a boat to see the scenery on the shore and the sunrise and sunset.

Personally feel that Varanasi is the most representative city in India. To experience this unique national customs, you must come to Varanasi once. Walking along the Ganges River, there are actually many altars. There will also be Ganges night sacrifices at night, so you can't miss it. The typical dirty and messy riverside, cow dung donkey urine garbage everywhere, but it does not affect the local people's devout bathing prayer in the Ganges River.

Manikanica River altar, when you arrive at Varanasi, you may come to see this altar, which is actually the burnt temple. Just next to the Ganges River, it is smoky every day, and the smell is relatively large. Just take a look. Although I don't understand these, I still feel more respectful. The Ganges River can also be seen by boat, and there is also this tourism project. There are more liars on the shore, lobbying you for various paid visits, pay attention to not be fooled.

During the period of Gupta in the 4th and 6th centuries, the Pagoda of Qiaokan was originally built as a terrace. Later, the son of a local king transformed the pagoda into its present form by erecting an octagonal Mogul Pagoda in the square of the pagoda.

Just not far from Luyeyuan, a Chinese Tibetan delivery payment, and I said that the Tibetan delivery payment building I saw in Lhasa is almost the same. It seems that many people have come here to burn incense and worship Buddha. You can visit with Yeluyuan.

泰宁根吴承恩
As the most important building of Wild Deer Garden, the Amaq Kefota is very historical. It is still a large building, made of bricks, especially spectacular, which also represents the most prosperous era of Indian Buddhism.

Just next to Luyeyuan, the two places are separated. Behind the mother temple is Luyeyuan Zoo. On the left is another temple. On the other side of the barbed wire fence is Luyeyuan. Luyeyuan collects money. It's free here. You don't charge until you enter the zoo.
