Michael Rogge, Thanks. We are fortunate to see these precious videos available so easily.. These are nothing but easiest way of Time Travel possible. I subscribed will be watching it with all possible relaxed mindset. I bought the Book 'Thugs of Hindostan' to feel the age old India but somehow I could not go with that english. couldnt even comple 5pages.. let me it may wrok later. But these videos are so convincing. :)

[@Kikiyayazengardens]

@MichaelRogge I don't remember camels on the ghats, but many, many buffalos, no cars as the alleys are to narrow in that area. I love your back ground sound with car horns (1937), I guess you could fine "Indian street sounds without car horns." I do find Varanasi a place that only visitors who are experienced can survive and enjoy. I spent 24 hours there alone the first time in 1998 and one week in 2001 with a friend. Couldn't do it alone.

[@Itspoonamsingh2024]

Varanasi is an ancient city on the banks of the River Ganges in Uttar Pradesh, Northern India. It is one of the most sacred sites in India because it is believed to have been the home of Lord Shiva . Some Hindus believe that the River Ganges pays its respects to Lord Shiva by the direction in which it flows. I'm very proud to be born here.. People wish to die here because it is believed that they will get free from the cycle of birth and get moksh... Sarnath is were i live and it's the place where Buddha gave his first speech to his 5 monks... You can see a video available on my channel.. Hope you enjoy varanasi

Mike, Did you really travel to all these places? I have not been to Varanasi but am sure the Ganges is much dirtier now than then. it is funny how India has not progressed much, I am from Tiruchirappalli though i dont live there anymore. You posted a video of that place from 1940 there is not much that has changed except for it getting crowded and polluted. However the scenes from the villages are yet the same.

"Ende" - was this done by a German. Being a local citizen, I can affirm that things have changed a bit on streets, technology has made its advances, if you have money you can afford world class hotels. On the streets, If you won't stay alert you could get in trouble. But on the ghats and in the Temples things are same. Rituals don't die. It has not died in Jerusalem, Mecca and it won't die in Varanasi as well.
