Manikarnika Ghat (मणिकर्णिका घाट) shot from a boat on the Ganges in Varanasi (Benaras), India.  This is the place where one comes face to face with life and death.  Manikarnika Ghat symbolizes mortality of the world and is one of the oldest and most sacred Ghats in Benaras. According to the Hindu mythology, being burned here provides an instant gateway to liberation from the cycle of births and rebirths.
