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.

Accommodation needs to add the person in charge of the hotel in advance 🛰️, 💰 800 in a single-family week, and 💰 1300 on weekends (according to the scheduled time to decide 💰, so it must be decided at least a week in advance to be cost-effective). Generally speaking, the hotel is relatively clean and hygienic. After all, there are some small bugs in the mountainous area.

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.

The site is located at the 400-year-old Mandir Palace, and the astronomical instrument is located on the roof of the terrace. Before viewing the instruments, there are three rooms on the first floor of the palace created by the Indian Archaeological Survey, which have relevant historical explanations, a large number of photos, charts and maps, and a video about the Ganges is playing in the main room.
