about 300m to the right they are burning bodies 24 hours a day and pushing the remains in the river (this is ritual), but before we got there, there was this big bloated dead cow that went floating by and only 10m from this was a guy swimming, floating on his back and i swear i saw him spitting water into the air out of his mouth. ah varanasi, one of the most fantastic places on earth.
well i gotta respect their devotion to their religion. to disregard the science of the river but believe that it does indeed offer purification of the soul.
