workshops-Varanasi

2012 Photography workshops by Nikos Economopoulos

Few places in India are as colourful, charismatic or spiritual as the bathing ghats lining the Ganges in Varanasi.

The city of Shiva is one of the holiest places in India, where Hindu pilgrims come to wash away a lifetime of sins in the Ganges or to cremate their loved ones.

This magical city is where the most intimate rituals of life and death take place in public on the city’s ghats. The accessibility to the practices of an ancient but still living religious tradition is what captivates many visitors, and a walk along the ghats or a boat ride on the river is one of India’s most absorbing experiences.
