ملف:Varanasi, India, Ganges River after sunset.jpg

English: Mystical ethereal atmosphere in the eternal city of Varanasi, sacred river Ganges after sunset. Jawaharlal Nehru: "Smiling and dancing in the morning sunlight, and dark and gloomy and full of mystery as the evening shadows fall; a narrow, slow and graceful stream in winter, and a vast roaming thing during the monsoon broad-bosomed almost as the sea, and with something of the sea's power to destroy; the Ganga has been to me a symbol and memory of the past of India running into the present and flowing on to the great ocean of the future." Ganges, Varanasi, India.
