    The River itse;lf is extremely important to the Hindu religion, but as a specticle it is just so so.
    It is the scences along the river bank, and the vatrious Ghats which make a boat btrip on the Ganges the specticle that it is. Fron ritual bathing to nearby cremations the banks are full of inetrest and colour.

    To take another boat ride in the evening presents even more spectacular sights along the bank

    The river ride is slow and peaceful.
    Certainly worth a visit and a ride on this holy of holy rivers

    Papu was a lovely host - very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He was able to guide us through the streets of Varanasi by car, tuk tuk and on foot. We felt very safe and reassured that he was with us. He also shared his book of stories with us - would recommend to any traveler :-)

    Visited temple on 11th March 23. whole temple complex has been nicely renovated Lockers arrangements for mobiles too are good with prompt service. We two had booked midday bhog aarti on line in advance. Had darshan of lord Shiva but much more is required to be done for smooth darshan Many persons entered who had not reservation for bhog aarti. when asked the volunteers they expressed helpness. JAI MAHADEV.
