This was my first visit to Varanasi, and it turned into one of the most beautiful solo journeys I’ve ever taken. For once, I found myself keeping the camera down and simply soaking everything in.Standing on the ghats of Kashi during Dev Deepawali, I could feel the place vibrating with something ancient and divine. The light, the chants, the river, it all wrapped around me in a way that made me wish the moment would never end. And then you understand why thousands push through the crowds, why they wait and wander for hours.. Everyone is just trying to catch a glimpse of that same magic!
