Priests venerating the river, Ganga, the lifeline of Varanasi with brass lamps that rise several tiers

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Aarti, or worshipping River Ganga, takes place every day, at dawn and dusk. The ceremony is performed by a group of priests on the ghats. It includes the blowing of conch shells, the ringing of several bells, the clanging of brass cymbals and the chanting chorus of mantras. As the sunlight recedes, the innumerable lamps flowing in the water make for an unforgettable sight.
