Sunbeam #Benares #India 3.2.1887. "Returned to station & went on by train to Benares. Drove through the narrow & dirty streets to the Golden Temple. Not much to be seen in the shops except London brasswork & Hindoo gods...Dined at Clarke's Hotel, & returned to the train very tired." #Brassey #1880s

When you are in Benares, you can also explore different perspectives. I stood on a wall to take these photos, which I think reflects the asymmetric power relationship in society.

Benares is a fabulous place to make street portraits.

I sat by the ghats and photographed these three men sitting there, lost in thought. The sunlight was beautiful.

I crawled to the front to get this image. The atmosphere, with smoke, music, and finery, is brilliant.
I made my edits except for Topaz Photo AI's face recovery tool.

This week, I will focus on images I shot at the Kartik Purnima celebration in Benares. I didn't edit the pictures, except for running them through Topaz Photo AI.
I wrote a blog post about that evening. Read it!

The crowds were massive, and when I reached, it was almost impossible to find a place to sit. I spoke with a cop who guided us to a row just behind the VIP section.
Politeness helps!

I photographed this sadhu just after dawn at the ghats. Then, he opened his eyes and demanded money! I paid him, and why not? if models get paid, why not him?

Jalebi Time!!
I was wandering in the streets and my friend saw this confectioner and charged in.

Jalebi at 9 am was a bit much, I thought!

Zoom!! I crouched down low as the disabled man zoomed down the street on his cart. Devotees line the street, waiting to enter the Kashi Vishwanath Temple.

I will close this section of the images of the evening aarti. As I said, it is a grand spectacle and is worth attending - for the traveler, the photographer, and the faithful.

The name Varanasi comes from two rivers, the Varuna and the Asi.
People told me that this is the Varuna River. The Asi has disappeared.

Soap suds float along the river. We pray to rivers, and abuse them.
The soapsuds have a strange, abstract beauty.

The Evening Aarti, or prayer, is a fantastic spectacle in Benares. Everything has changed, of course. Many years ago, I sat at the ghats and listened to the river.
The times are changing.
