This is the evening Arti ceremony at the river Ganges in Varanasi every night. It lasts about an hour or so.
I'm using my last evening in Delhi to see if I can get photos from my camera into my blog for all of you. This is a test!
Delhi metro has the first car reserved for women only so they don't get harrassed by the men. There are a spattering of women on other cars only occasionally.
This is me with Harish Singh at the Varanasi train station. He was a lifesaver in terms of meeting me at the airport & getting me on the train in the fright car & berth. He was prepared to accomodate me at his house if the train had been delayed in parting.
Getting very tired, friends and I'm departing tomorrow. Pictures take a while to download. So this is all for now! Enjoy!
If you haven't sent me your mailing address for a postcard, time is getting short!
Great pictures, Karen. What an adventure you are on. Looking forward to seeing your parents next week.
ReplyDeleteKaren, so glad you had time to upload a few photos and even a video. Super! The fire ceremony is quite interesting and I liked the river images too. What was that offering you were holding? So you must be on to Bali now?
ReplyDeleteWe're looking forward to Easter with you.
A women's-only car?? How civilized! I've wished here that they would make a "Quiet" car for no cell phones or talking, for commuters who wish to read or sleep on the way downtown.
ReplyDeleteYou are glowing! You look so happy. I'm so excited to be enjoying your trip vicariously!
