Best Time to Visit Varanasi Ghats, is at Sunrise. Why?
Why Sunrise in Varanasi is the best time to visit Ghats of Varanasi?
Varanasi’s sunrise is probably the best time to visit the Ghats of Varanasi because this is when you see the major activities along the river bank. Thats when you see the spirituality of the people around the ghats who come to pray at river bank. People chanting OM Namah Shivay, singing spiritual mantas and lighting diyas etc to pray makes the whole atmosphere spiritual. That’s when you can feel the spirituality.
Many Brahmins, prepare to pray in the morning and we call it in simple word “Aarti.” So Aarti is basically a prayer what Hindus they offer to mother Ganga at dawn and at dusk. It is definitely advisable to take a boat at dawn and watch all the happenings at river Ganges. People do watch Manikarnika Ghat also known as cremation Ghat by boat. The funeral pyres can be seen all day long meaning 24hrs a day non stop.
You may witness beautiful sunlight falling on the buildings around the river bank. Its just stunning and fascinating. Trust me, dawn is the best time for taking nice pictures and I love taking shots early at dawn when light is clear.
Now, when I am talking about the photos, you are allowed to take pictures everywhere, keeping in mind that photography at Manikarnika Ghat should be avoid. Also do not take pictures of ladies taking their holy dip into the Ganga. Apart from that, you can take pictures everywhere. Some temples also don’t allow pictures inside the premises so better ask your tour guide for help. many people love taking pictures of Sadhus and obviously why not? In this case, keep some change with you all the time to give them as a Bakshish.
