Ogni Induista, almeno una volta nella sua vita, deve essersi recato a Varanasi e qui deve immergersi nel sacro fiume Gange almeno da 5 diversi ghats. Ogni mattina all'alba, gli Indù iniziano a compiere dai ghats le proprie abluzioni. Secondo l'induismo l'unico posto della terra in cui gli dei permettono agli uomini di sfuggire al samsara, cioè all'eterno ciclo di morte e rinascita, è la riva occidentale del Gange a Varanasi, perciò nel corso dei secoli milioni e milioni di induisti sono venuti a morire qui. Nel fiume proliferano batteri, virus e parassiti che sono all'origine di colera, epatiti, patologie gastrointestinali e parassitosi che ogni anno colpiscono e, a spesso uccidono, bambini ed adulti che si cibano dei prodotti agroalimentari irrigati con le medesime acque. Oggi il Gange è il fiume più inquinato del subcontinente ed è tra i 10 fiumi più inquinati al mondo.

Rite of purification of sins or supermarket of diseases given the promiscuity in the water .... better a shower in private.
India, a world of colors and contrast to visit.
Have a nice weekend

Thank you dear friends Alessandro, Gaz, Sergio, Mario, Paolo, Maria Rosaria, Ciriaco.
You are very generous in your comments and I always read you with great pleasure.
I didn't take a bath... :-D and I could not watch this show with serenity precisely because I thought about the risks of diving in those dirty waters, in which everything really floats.
But we are Westerners, the Indians have undoubtedly developed a resistance to diseases unknown to us.
But it was nice to be there, and I'm glad I experienced that atmosphere.
Thank you very much
Elisabetta

They want to escape samsara, but many rest in the waters in the form of ash, I would personally prefer to avoid such dives :-D but you know, religions on every side of the planet dictate the rhythms of faithful man.
Excellent document Elisabetta :-)
