After photographing Delhi, on my final leg of India for the project, Varanasi was next. Coming in as Major City #51, Varinasi is definitely unlike any other during the project, but Varanasi is unlike any other city in the world. As unique as they come, it not only attracts visitors for the spirituality, history, atmosphere and experience, it also attracts plenty of photographers for the visual feast you won’t find similarly anywhere else. While a typical India bout of food poisoning mixed with 44C (111F) degree weather provided some challenge, Varanasi’s pull kept me out taking photos as much as I could. The holy river, ghats filled with life, winding alleys, chaotic spirituality and more make this a magical city, from very early morning on.
So here’s 33 photos that I was able to capture during my time in Varanasi…
