Varanasi Sweeping the Ghats

Varanasi, India

The ghats along the Ganges River in Varanasi are a holy place where people go to bathe (and sometimes to die or be cremated) in the River.  This woman sweeps the ghats to keep them clean, as a goat walks along above.  To see more on India, go to the India page.
