Varanasi in the Afternoon

Varanasi Ghats are a pleasure to loaf any time of the day.
While morning morning buzzes with people at work for various things, and evening is the flamboyant time, afternoon is when life strolls by! Afternoon at the Ghats is quiet and laid back. You are chased by boatmen asking if you want a “crooz” or “kill your time”. This is my loafing time at the Ghats. Roam around freely. The business of morning is over, and the flamboyance of evening has not started. Breathe in the view, eat at one of the riverside eateries, chat with locals or simply sit in a corner and watch life go by...read a book while the river flows by...undeterred and beautiful.

Silence mid-day

Loafing space and time

Chilled out peaceful time

Waiting for a rider
