Varanasi, Benaras, Kashi or Anand Van are names of the Oldest Living City of the World in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India.
A city on the banks of the Holy Ganges where millions following the Hindu faith apire to have their last rites performed in the belief they will attain “Moksha”.
The Holy Cow eyes the Green Vegetables of a street vendor near the auspicious Dashwamedh Ghat where a spectacular  daily prayer, the Ganga Aarti . is offered to the Ganges who is worshipped as a Goddess.
The Juvenile Simian has lofty aspirations as it munches away  while Riding a Lion on the Spires of an Ancient temple located at the Munshi Ghat on the banks of the Holy  river Ganga.
Varanasi is an Enchanting city and I will share with you my tryst with nature in a series of posts that will follow.
Lovely photos, as usual. really like the dog (what luxury) and the monkey.

Wish you all the best for your studies. I have reduced blogging frequency as well, as it does require a considerable amount of time.

Thanks Mukul! My studies might be opening up some exciting opportunities in the near future. And yes, blogging can take up a lot of time: especially when one puts a great deal of thought into their posts.

Indeed! I can’t give out too many details yet because I’m still working them out, but I might have a chance to conduct some exciting research this coming summer. I hate to be so vague, but I’ll be able to disclose more information once I confirm a few more things.
