Varanasi (Benares)
is the holiest place of Pilgrimage in Hindu's beliefe. Each year
thousands and thousands of pilgrims come to the banks
of "Mother Ganges" to take a ritual bath, to pray in one of the
1600 temples and places of cult or to die here.
The visit with our Indian friends and our observations in
the different temples and especially at the banks of the Ganges
in Varanasi gave us deep insides into the spiritual world of Hinduism.
In India religion is a way of life. It is an integral part of the
entire Indian tradition and permeates every aspect of life. Hinduism
is the dominant faith, practiced by over 80% of the population.
But India is a secular state. People of many religions freely live
here.
