What you can expect

  • We will be attending the Arti ceremony on the main ghat (Dashaswamedh Ghat), which start at the time of sunset, every evening no matter what the weather is.
    The ceremony has been performed here for thousands of years and is a living tradition which can be seen in the holy city of Varanasi.

    You will be able to see the vibrant Hindu Culture and feel the great Energy of it.

    The way to this Ghat is also a great experience, when you walk through a street completely packed with people finding your route through them with the assistance of your Tour Guide.

    This street is the main traditional local market of Varanasi, where we have the shops of Chinese Silk clothes, ladies cosmetics, bags and some road side eateries as well.

    You will meet your tour guide at hotel and will travel to a particular point which is as close as possible to this main ghat, then you will have a walk through this busy street to the Ganges.

    You will have a place where you will comfortably sit and watch the whole ceremony from there. But before sitting on the chair, you will have a short boat ride in the Ganges during which you will see the Cremation Ghats and try to understand the soul of the city SALVATION.
