Day 3 Varanasi
Today we walked down the lainways to the main road & only got lost 3 x 🤣😂🤣
The main road is like most city streets busy
But we had a look around & found the ATM that we went for
On our way back through the lainways again i could hear a noise that sounded like looms going a man came out from a dark door so i asked him is this a weeving factory he said yes would you like to look
Of course i said yes lol
Inside were 3 workers using the electric looms making silk on 2 & cotton on the others
We gave them all a small tip for showing us there work place the young men very shy & said no but i gave anyway

Next stop was finding the river again & headding to the main square
Meeting our Guru again
And given another blessing
This time lighting a floating candle with flowers
All in a recyclable container
India is trying very hard to ban plastics & no composted goods

From here was time to find coffee & relax a bit

We met a local the night before, he explained so much to us about the cremation ceramoneys & why its so important to the locals

So our adventure started at 10am starting of course with chai tea
We wandered through the narrow streets learing about each temple , why it was built & how
We got to see the well of Shiva & learned of its story
We got to see the leaning monument & the story of it
We learned about the nomads that live on the sandbank on the other side of the river
& of course had more chai tea
We also had some local snacks & lassi drink

We sat in buildings older than time
And climbed to the top of the mosque were we could see the whole city from

On our way back to our hotel

Enjoying Varanasi

This is truly a magical place & a Latham of narrow paths & stairs
After unpacking & settling into our beautiful hotel off to explore there are boats to rent & take a river ride
There are street sellers
Then there are the gurus many many gurus
All sat along the waters edge
Passing many but interested in what & how they work i keeped looking at them
One seemed to stand out to me more such a caricatured face. I took his photo & he called out come
Thinking he wanted a tip for his photo
But instead he wanted to bless me
(Of course at a cost lol)
So the ceremony started . First the sandlewood lines on the forhead
Next a lay of flowers into my hand
Now walk to the river
As he placed a few flowers at a time into my hand he chanted i had to repeat & then through the flowers into the water
Then the remaining of the lay was put around my neck
He then blew his shell horn
Then filled the horn with water from the river & poured it over my hands & again we chanted together
Now for the last part were he tied an orange & red braclet around my wrist
I was now blessed ...🧘‍♀️🙏🏼 he then talked of my past & my future
We then ate together & talked in general.

After this lovley ceremony off to explore again
Found a perfume & spice stall & bought to aroma oils pure

Now heading back to hotel to shower & eat before the night show starts

At 6.30pm each night they have big ceremonies with fire dance bells drumbs its amazing

From here a walk down towards the cremation aira
No photos of this out of respect for whos there

Wandering down i was told no no this is not for you
But one lovley man came & said its ok
He showed me a safe place to sit & explained the full process
From here i got an extra special treat he took me to see the eternal flame over 15000 old & never gone out
This is the flame thats used to light all the cremations & lit by one of the gods at the beginning of time
I had the ash from the flame placed on my forehead & again blessed

From here shown the other parts to cramation the wood supplys the sandlewood. The colored sarongs for decorations. The flowers

And taken to the rainy season aira as its up very high & has an amazing view

After all processes were explained we sat with chai tea & chatted a little more before i headed back to the hotel for the night

What an adventure for day 1 Varanasi
