It is one of the two cremation Ghats. Hindus from different places bring the dead bodies of their relatives to the Harishchandra Ghat for cremation. In Hindu mythology it is believed that if a person is cremated at the Harishchandra Ghat, that person gets salvation or moksha. Ganga Aarti is perhaps the most important event related to the holy river. It involves the chanting of hymns, fire, flower, and more. The idea is to show gratitude and respect to the river, and ask for its blessings.

Harald, your capture of the Ganga Arti is unique; I haven't seen anyone else do it before. Your depiction of the daily events at Binaries Ganga Ghat is commendable. Once again, you deserve a perfect 10 for presenting facts rather than fluff, which some others tend to do. Great job!

the "Pan" that Harold ate is actually a flavored-up version of Betel nut in a Betel leaf and its chewed like tobacco. Not really considered as "food". More like a drug. It will give you a nicotine-like buzz, but can also make you feel sick if you aren't used to it.

Paan is basically a mouth freshener / palette cleanser after a meal - it's basically the Indian after dinner mint LOL. It has coconut, sweet rose, betel nuts, fennel seeds, and other spices typically in it - the betel nuts will give that minty taste.

As for the lady outside the hotel speaking to you, I couldn't make out exactly what she said, but I think she was telling you to keep your camera with you, and not let anyone try to take anything from you - I think she was just trying to give you safety advice in general given some of the con artists / touts in the area.

I've been watching Harald's videos for years and they always make me feel like I've been to these places personally. I don't have to pay flight tickets or anything to go there when I can watch these videos for free.

Greatest vlog of all time! Thanks Harold!

I lived on Pandey Ghat… I recognize all these places and alleys. This Norwegian is a “good tourist”… he engages with the locals, is open and friendly, gives sales to needy vendors.

I will never have the opportunity to go to the cool places you’ve been but the filming expertise and the personality you place in all your videos makes me feel like I’ve been thru all these adventures with ya. Another cool place

These random dudes asked me if I wanted a boat tour at night, so of course I said yes! Hahahahaha, Harold is so awesome.

Love your style Harald, binge watching your many videos, but have really loved the India vids the most....being a polytheist, love how there's still a part of the world where it is displayed so proudly. Thank you for sharing 🙏

Varanasi is one of the oldest continuously inhabited city on the planet offcourse it's not fancy or something like many other Indian cities but it has a separate space in Hindu beliefs and the energy of manikarnika ghat and Varanasi in general is immaculate u can feel that only when u visit this amazing City... A different world altogether... As usual loved your content 🙏🏼🚩 as they say in Varanasi Har Har Mahadev 🕉️🙏🏼😍 (Hail lord Shiva) Cuz it's city of lord Shiva the god of destroyer...

Hi Harald, as an Indian, I think I owe you an explanation of the experience you had with the "Aghori" baba. The Aghori community is a very special small sect of Hinduism. Their philosophy is that nothing in this world is good or bad, or, dirty or clean. Everything in your life is just an illusion. So your home, your money, your career, your loved ones, even your feelings are all just illusions. So they experience life in its raw form, where we are nothing but stardust. Their quote is "Bhasma Hi Satya Hein", which means the only truth in this world is the ash that remains after the body is burnt, everything else is just "Maya" or illusion. That's why they will not have a normal chit-chat with you. There is no meaning in it for them. What consider rude is just a normal communicatiob for them because being nice is just an illusion for them. In the end, we don't know what we are doing what we do, and why we are doing what we do. They might however let your experiene their way of doing prayer and all. But be careful because, afterall they are also human beings, who perhaps have psychological issues or have developed such conditions. So it may be also be risky. Aghoris are just there. They dont attack anyone, they dont steal anything, they dont do any harm. But they also dont like to be bothered by anyone.

Thank you for the information very interesting 😊

One of your best videos. Your absolute willingness and zero social anxiety makes for such a great viewing experience. Literally almost got attacked by a random monkey and swam in some of the filthiest water in the world zero fucks given

No better way to deal with the Sunday anxiety of the coming work week by relaxing and watching Heraldo

Harald, I have been loving the India videos. Very interesting!

Actually it's not a tourist place.. It's a spiritual place. There is a spiritual power if one is lucky to feel it

The crow fighting the monkey was kinda epic. N the dude using his own money to feed the pigeons, what a legend. Varanasi seems like quite a magical place

I enjoy these videos. I love learning about India and especially, Varanasi. You made me feel like I was there, myself. Great video journalism.

Great video Harald! You always have quality adventures to share with us!

videos like this enable all off us to experience culture which is very cool
