Its called cremation not Burning. Secondly that nut job lied to you that about bodies thrown into the river. Children below 12 are not cremated but buried as per rituals.
That is most sacred river for us ....Please don't say every time That " I don't want to touch Ganga"...We call it Mother Ganga ..We have lots of sentiments with that holy water....
It's "sacred" to you but not for her. Neither do you have any proof to prove that it is somehow sacred. In fact it is due to this blind sentiment of yours that you deny seeing the dirt and continue further polluting the river. So shove your Sentiments up your back and stop acting like an entitled child that people need to constantly attend to your feelings. By demanding her to appease your feelings you are making her compromise on her sensibilities. Why should she? Why should a sensible person deny the disgust he/she feels to the floating filth that is visible with his/her own eyes?
Avoid Varanasi, kamakhya and a few other places. These are not touristic places. Always Take a bath and wash your clothes after visiting burning ghats. U were smart to avoid the water. Most touristic hindus avoid such places. Only the religious one's visit.
Best ghat to see cremation is "manikarnika ghat " it has 10 or so bodies simultaneously burning. Right next to it is kashi vishwanath temple 1 of the holiest site in hinduism.
It's the Chins who tried to propagate ganga and rivers are dirty, they just need to open their eyes and see... sometimes its a bit challenging for them folks.
why you are avoiding ganga water it is one of the purest holy water. If you kept ganga water for years in any container in house the ganga water did not Spoilage and The scientific reason is that water of river Ganga is naturally having bacteriophages, which do not allow bacterial growth. The high levels of dissolved oxygen in the Ganges River help prevent the growth of bacteria but the Ganges River faces pollution challenges due to the discharge of untreated sewage, industrial waste, and agricultural runoff. This pollution has affected the health and cleanliness of the river. However the ganga water did not Spoilage for coming centuries if government continue the Namami Gange Programme for long-term visions for Ganga rejuvenation.

India was our first stop during our travels last year but never thought about visiting this region, thank you for sharing it, liked and subscribed keep up the good work! :)
See that ashes baba put on your head is a blessings of all gods bcoz fire is one of the purest elements of cosmos onsidered in Hinduism so a body is cremated bcoz of belief in hinduism that how energy is converted into mass then after living the energy in the body mass they are returned to nature and the purest soul journey in the form of energy is returned to god which is basically called MOKSHA in hinduism .... That means liberation.... Liberation from the cycles of mass and energy ... And dissolved being an purest entity to the almighty god ..! ❤ So don't be feared of some sort of things like that... Take care
Never rely solely on mobile applications. It is advisable to reconfirm the train status and arrival platform at the enquiry counter, as the platform number may change at the last minute and the application may not reflect these changes in real time.
Ma'am, this festival of colors has been marred by the actions of some illiterate individuals. On the holy occasion of Holi, some ignorant people, in a drunken state, misbehave and harass single women, especially in certain local streets. As an Indian, I feel ashamed and very angry at the indecent acts of these individuals. If a single woman is accompanied by a male friend on Holi, she can celebrate the festival without any safety concerns. Otherwise, single women can enjoy the festival by attending private events where food, music, and personal security are provided by the organizers, attracting a crowd from the educated class. In the future, you can book tickets for local events through Book My Show and enjoy the festival with peace of mind.🙏🇮🇳🌸
If you want to eat eggs with Indian Flavours. You can visit Surat, Gujarat. You will amazed that there are 50-60 different types of egg dishes in Surat.
Traveling in India is chaotic at the best. Avoid people who come offering their services, they are frauds. You should identify and talk to locals, they will offer help free of charge. But, sometimes locals might invite you to eat at their homes which may be out of schedule.
