Description
A series of steps leading down to water—are a common sight across India but a rare find in New Delhi! Take a boat ride with me to an ancient temple (in middle of the river) to meditate & discover India's affection with rivers & more.
For thousands of years, people have used them to enter various bodies of water in order to bathe or release the ashes of loved ones.
Situated near a cremation ground in a historic part of Delhi, Yamuna Ghat continues to be in use today. At dawn, the ghat is the site of a majestic gathering of hundreds of seagulls flocking to feed*
Here's what we do:
1. Reach the shore & watch a majestic ceremony where we will offer flowers to the river with a traditional prayer
2. Step into a pretty private wooden boat and sail with me to watch from a distance Delhi's biggest Hindu Cemetry, scenes of the Ghats as I unveil you several stories about the river & mythology around it
3. We take a halt in the middle of the river to hop on a tiny island which has an ancient temple. Get introduced to a meditation technique & a private Indian music concert
4. We come back to the shore & have a cup of tea & cookies locally sourced + river side conversations
