Rooftop

Chilling out in Varanasi.



There's not much to do actually, but it's a good place to relax. Staying close to the Ganges, wake up early, watch the river, people taking shower or burn bodies.



Then, take a walk on the streets of old city... It's becoming hot, so it's good just sit at rooftop or somewhere cool.

At afternoon, the sky is full of kites. They seem to be everywhere, sometimes fighting with each other or just stay high in the air.



Also, plenty of monkeys on the roofs. There are really families of them there. Sometimes they come very near, also want to have good time, some coconuts :) Yesterday these two took a pair of pants from the roof with them.



At 18:30 starts the pooja, everyday ceremony. Its purpose is to make the river stay in its borders and not come into the city. There are 6 brahmin men, who make it with incense, candles, fire, bells, and every night a lot of people come to watch this.



Also, many many tourists here... But it's much easier than Mumbai, people are different. Lots of Hebrew signs, and some Indians speak Hebrew as well.
Holi is to start today evening, and tomorrow it's colour time :)
