Over 100 years of the Ghats at Varanasi in India

The first video, from the British Film Institute, was filmed in 1899 and is one of the earliest films to be shot in India.



The second video was filmed last year, and I think demonstates that not that much has changed.

Please be warned that right at the end of the video below there is a shot of a dog chewing on a dead body.



Did I ever mention before, that when I was in Varanasi, the holiest of Indian holy cities, that some bastard stole my bag?
