Photo by @JohnStanmeyer • Sacred Water ~ Thousands of Hindus converge on the banks of the sacred Holy Ganges River in Banaras (Varanasi), India. • For more than two decades I have had the privilege, the honor, to visit India on countless occasions. A fond visit was when working on the @NatGeo story, #SacredWater, looking at our spiritual thirst of our most precious commodity on earth, pleased to share with all here on @NatGeoTravel this beautiful moment of prayer, play, the gift of our humanity. • All my best, @JohnStanmeyer • Please follow my latest project, @bridging.stories, here on Instagram, thank you kindly. • @natgeocreative @thephotosociety #India, #Banaras #Varanasi #Ganges #HolyGanges #Hindu #Hinduism #river #sacredriver #water #people #humanity
