We boarded a wooden boat and they rowed us to over to many other wooden boats. All the boats were tied together as we watched a thanksgiving show with chanting for the mighty Ganges river. Next we rowed over to see a funeral cremation.

Varanasi Ghats - Boat Ride
Last night, we went the Ama Ganges (Mother Ganges) river. The Ganges is a 2510 km long sacred river to Hindus. Many believe that if you die here you will go straight to heaven.
