Varanasi has been a cultural center of North India for several thousand years, and is closely associated with the Ganges.

The shores are so active there are hundreds of pictures. Stay for nightfall. You can rent a boat to take shots back onto the shore. Medium telephoto and a longer lens to get shore shots.

Chaos - you cannot get to the river very easily - local taxi or staying at a hotel on the river are best bets. The city is very old and basically ally ways to the river.
