Sunset on the holy Ganges river.

A holy man (sadhu) puts sandalwood powder on Asha's forehead.

Asha gratefully receives a blessing from this holy man (sadhu).

The Ganges river at sunrise is a calm and peaceful place.

The ghats of Varanasi, where thousands congregate each day to worship, bathe and make offerings.

Bodies are cremated 24 hours a day in Varanasi. Many travel here to die.

A holy man.
