Varanasi is truly one of India's most spiritual cities. Here, there is no greater sense of life and death, as millions of Indian residents strive to reach their ultimate earthly destination on the banks of the Ganges.

A series of outdoor restaurants cater to pilgrims visiting the temples.
After bathing in the Ganges, a pilgrim has a body shave just outside a temple a few blocks from the river. Below, a scene at dawn. Pilgrims bathe in the Ganges just as the early morning light appears.
