Ganges River at sunrise

For Hindus, Varanasi is the most sacred city. The holy Ganges River flows through the city. It is thought that those who die in Varanasi will avoid reincarnation and ascend to heaven. Every day, thousands of people flock to the ghats on the banks of the Ganges to bathe in its sacred waters.
