The Ganges in Varanasi will let you see life and death. Hindus are cremated, and the fire in this altar is almost 24 hours unquenched. The cremation process is not to be watched, but when the Ganges is boating, you can see the fire on the shore.
It is one of two burning Dockyards in Varanasi, and if cremated here it is considered a way to be liberated, the guide said it could be cremated 24 hours a day, and is part of a boat tour that costs about six hundred rupees per boat.
The scenery here is average, and it is not too bustling, and there are not many fun places.
This place is close to the banks of the Ganges River, with a good view and is a well-known local attraction.
