Shanti Guest house was something to find and we enjoyed our stay there like anything. The serene environment and friendly people was something I was not expecting. And then I attended something after which I got lost into the beauty and culture of Varanasi.
The most famous and a must see in Varanasi is the evening Pooja at the Ghat. Storm of people flow in to attend the Pooja everyday. People start coming in at around 6 PM and the Pooja starts generally at sunset and goes on till 45 minutes to an hour.There are two ways to see the Pooja :
1) From the Ghat
2) Take a boat ride into the river and see from there
I prefer sitting on the Ghat and watching it because negotiating with the boat drivers can be tiring at the peak hours of Pooja. The view is breathtaking , of the candles and lamps. The size of the lamps is varied and the enchantments loud enough without speakers. With my eyes closed I got lost into the environment and slowly and slowly was drifting towards calmness and peace.
