Black and white picture taken in Varanasi, India. The river Ganges is for Hindus a holy river.  On the shores of the river are the burning rituals of the deceased people. After the ritual the ashes are swept into the water.

A boat trip on the river is for many tourists the ideal way to view the burnings at a safe distance.

I've taken this picture in Mathura, India. This city is an important place for Hindu pilgrims and the bathing spaces along the river are always full of people. The lady in the picture is cleaning herself and her clothes in the water flowing along the shore.
