After the sun sets, comes the party on the ghats (steps) by the Ganges River. It’s a nightly spiritual ceremony called Aarti, a fire ceremony performed around 7pm by Brahmin disciples to honour the Ganges, the holy river. And also to Gods & dieties.
Basically it’s dancing with fire, waving lamps filled with incense, conch blowing plus chanting.
The performances are highly choreographed. And my my….. the performers can’t be sadhus. They look like they’d been handpicked or flown in from Bollywood. Well I guess attractive performers attract more crowd. 😋
