Day 3 · Jan 16, 2014
Manikarnika Ghat
12:41
4/5
We visited this Ghat both from the river at sunrise, sunset and also walking. Certainly not the kind of place you can visit in a big modern city so the customs of the people and their beliefs are very very special - we felt privileged to be there.
#ManikarnikaGhatVaranasi is one of the ghats for #MokshPrapti and is most known for being a place of #HinduCremation.Here #MataSati sacrifices her life and set her body ablaze on fire.Activities
