After breakfast, we visited the temples in Khajuraho that the Chandelas constructed in the 9th and 10th centuries. A UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Due to the dry climate, the temples survived.
Then we were off to lunch at a small restaurant run by two sisters. Once again great Indian food.
Next was a short flight to Varanasi. We checked into our hotel and then took battery operated rickshaws to the Ganges to watch the evening ceremonies.
We boarded a boat and watched the priests perform the sacred light ceremony on the ghats, stairs.
The boat took us past the cremation steps, ghats, on the river's shore. Operating 24 hours a day.
The sacred light ceremony from the shore. Seven priests.
The streets were packed with pilgrims and tourists. An amazing site.
