A picture worthy of Dante's Inferno! Disturbing atmosphere, I do not know what a ghat is but great nice shot!

B] Ghat is a term to indicate the "stairways" that lead on the river. They are very widespread architectural structures in India, Varanasi in Primis as Sacred city, and are very important for the Hindu rites
Thanks for the commentary and the passage ;-)

Hi Alex, I'm going to Varanasi in 2 weeks. Have You had difficulty photographing these scenes?
What are the rules to be followed for this type of photo in Varanasi?

Hello
We visited the ghats from a boat at sunset... Excursion suggestive
The Guide told us that the cremators can not photograph closely (focal short) so I photographed them from afar with a 400mm.
From the boat I saw Westerners (tourists?) who were right on the stairways of the crematorium ghat but could not see if they were equipped with a camera.
For Me "anoinging" the right guide will take you to photograph them even from the nearest ;-)
PS: Okki to the Stink :-D
