Here it is folks, my first travel video and its about Varanasi. It is not possible to put everything we felt, saw and experienced into a video but I tried. This city has so many aspects to it that no single video can ever capture its true essence. If I had to choose one word to describe Varanasi and the experience, I couldn’t but maybe 2 words – “complicated and divine”!!!
The vast Ganges river, the open cremation ghats, narrow alleyways, sadhu, aghori, pilgrims, tourists, widows cleaning rice in an ashram, animals, birds, the mesmerising evening aarti, devotion, sadness, filth, garbage, happiness, shops, beggars, cycle rickshaws, the list goes on and on.
Take a look at the video and hope you get a chance some day to visit experience one of the oldest cites in the world.
Check it out. My first travel video
I have been there. In 3 minutes you are not showing just pictures, this movie even smells like Varanasi, tastes like the hot tea on ghat. Very beautiful!!!
Beautiful Ravi. I love the sound of Arti and birds in it. I am sure its much louder and chaotic but your music harmonizes it. I cant wait to go and listen to it all myself.
Thanks Sandy. Definitely you should.
