Aarti at Varanasi || Ganga Aarti at Dasaswamedh
This is particularly interesting to see in Varanasi where elaborate Ganga Aarti at Dasaswamedh ghat is held every evening, just after sunset. As the aarti begins, young priests take their positions at the platform and begin swinging the lamp to the tune of chants. Incenses are burnt, hundreds of floating candles, flowers, and food are released into the Ganges River.
