The focus of Varanasi is the ghats, the entranceways to the Ganges. Each ghat contains steps that take you to the river’s edge and serves as a place to perform pujas and enter to bathe in the holy water. Trouble is, the water is extremely polluted, mostly due to the direct dumping of sewage into the river. The sewage treatment plants of Varanasi and nearby villages regularly back-up and, as happened while we were there, cause manhole covers to errupt with powerful geysers of raw sewage flowing from underground into the river.
