Did you know that they also float their dead down the Ganges?

I have a friend that went into the Ganges and got brain parasites...nice huh?

I have been to India 3 times, soon to be 4, and I will never dunk my head in the beautiful sacred ganges......


Your blog is lovely!

Hi barefoot_mistress!

Thanks for your comment. I've been to India just once, but it was illuminating. I really love this country.
Ah... yes, I saw the ceremonies around the Ganges. It's very interesting. I didn't dare to take a bath either :) maybe next time.
Because I'm sure it will be a next time!

Greetings
