evening event on the Ganga Aswamedha Ghat 7 pm


One of the most trilling experiences is the evening arathi on the Aswamedha Ghat to Goddess Ganga. 7 priest do a very elaborate, or better to say a big show to worship Ganga. Bhajans are played live, big bells are hammered and they do a really impressive worship with big Dhoopstands (frank insence), large Champor and gheewick lamps and nicely fanning with the Chamara (yaktail fan). All takes more then 1 hour to finnish. After that you can buy a small leafbowl with flowers and one gheewick, light it and send it with good wishes down the ganges...
