About this activity
After picked up from hotel in Varanasi, Experience:
Evening boat ride followed by Ganga Aarti: Evening boat ride will be the best option to visit cremation place and after that Experience Ganga Aarti.
Aarti, also spelled arathi, is a Hindu ritual, in which light is offered to one or more deities. Aartis also refer to the songs sung in praise of the deity, when offering of lamps is being offered.
Hindus in India worship the river Ganges as goddess. Every evening in Varanasi, aarti is performed at the Dashashwamedh ghat. We can watch it from the ghat or from the waterside in a boat. It is a beautiful, resonant, and majestic spectacle with a very precise choreography involving rituals performed by several priests with the sound of bells, drums, cymbals, and Sanskrit mantras. The river is also worshiped with flower petals.
Admire the glow of light being offered to the gods before you are returned to your hotel to end your experience.

Good to see. Guide was informative and got us a great place to view the whole show.
What a view! From a boat on the Ganges we experienced this array of colour and sound. It was made special when releasing candles on water.
