The holy sites of Hinduism
The water of the Ganges engulfs the lower steps of the steps to the ghats, a cremation site along the banks of the river. But don't be deterred from visiting the holy city of Varanasi. On the waterfront, the religious rituals take place. A bath in the Ganges purifies the karma, so Indians immerse themselves in the river. Here, travelers await an immersion in Indian culture.
The holy city of Varanasi is one of India's best known, in terms of spiritual centers, but there are many more. Amritsaris well worth a visit : the main place for followers of the Sikh religion. In the Harmandir Sahib or the Golden Temple, lies the sacred writings. But also outside the reverence for this place is palpable. The serene tranquility in the area is not only caused by the sacred status of the city: the reflection of the golden temple in the water makes visitors speechless. Thousands of meals are prepared here every day, feel free to join us for a snack.
The sound is reflected in the pilgrim's place pushkar: the hum of mantras is supported by drums and gongs. The lake, the place where Hindu god Brahma would have dropped a lotus flower, every Hindu must visit at least once in his life. But also for travelers this is a must go. Preferably in the month of November, during the annual camel festival. Those who prefer to escape the hustle and bustle of the thousands of camels will find a place in the hills around the city. The perfect place to watch camels flow on Pushkar from all sides.
