As darkness falls the evening Aarti (Hindu ritual) begins.    I cannot begin to describe it. Words and photos cannot do it justice. Once must be there.

As thousands? watched/participated from the ghat, we were one of a few hundred boats watching from the water.  The boats were "parked" so tight that there was barely an inch between each one.  97% of the people were Indian.   It was simply amazing to participate in this.  We took a few photos, but not good ones, sorry.  Also a short video clip.

It  was magnificent........that's all I can say.  Come here and experience it for yourself.
