Life in Benares, India, centres on the Holy River: the Ganges. At dawn, the river comes to life; four musicians play the Raga that celebrates the rising of the sun. Thousands of pilgrims immerse themselves in the healing waters. Holy men chant the sutras. Cooking pots are filled -the day has begun.
