Last night after a walk we boarded a boat in the darkness to participate in a candle ceremony on the Ganges.
We drifted down past the Ghats and lit candles that floated in rafts made of dried leaves.
We launched about a hundred and then drifted along fora few minutes. After that we stopped at a river side Hindu temple and watched the evening ceremony amongst thousands of pilgrims, locals and tourists.
It was an amazing site and the sounds were confused by neighboring temples performing similar ceremonies. Whilst offered a second viewing at 5:30am today none of us took up the offer.
Later today we board the train for an overnight trip towards Orcha and a few days of peace and quiet.
