Excellent gallery. Reminds me so much of my visit to the holy city... just after Indira Ghandi was assassinated in 1984.

I've just returned from Varanasi, just two days ago. I really enjoyed reliving my trip through this gallery and don't feel I documented the experience as you have in this excellent collection. I was basically stunned whilst experiencing India for the first time; nothing could have prepared me for the five or six days I had there. Overwhelming, my senses really put through their paces. I must return. I get my pictures back from the lab on Friday.
