Scindia Ghat Varanasi

[famousplacesinindia]

Manikarnika Ghat among the sacred riverfronts (ghats), alongside the river Ganga, in the city of Varanasi in the Indian state of #UttarPradesh. It is believed that a dead human's soul finds salvation (moksha), when cremated here. Thus, scores of the elderly across the whole country seek to walk up to its edges, and spend their last days absorbing the charisma of the ghat - which makes even death painless and insignificant to be pondered upon. In India, death is considered as a gateway to another life received as a result of our past actions (karma). The Hindu genealogy registers at Varanasi are kept here. The #ManikarnikaGhat is flanked by the #DashashwamedhGhat and the #ScindiaGhat. It is situated in #Varanasi, India. https://www.instagram.com/p/BqbKETfnTUB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ya4xzpzo1dga
