Varanasi or Vrindavan. There's a certain something common to these holy places in North India. The five senses have an array of things to absorb..
Olfactory: musky agarbatti fumes combined with heady fresh-cowdung and a hint of marigold aroma
Auditory: Resonant bells, urchin cries, the Lord's name being sung or chanted...droning in the background
Visual: Colour splashed around...saffrons, reds, greens... water in ever changing moods
Taste: Saccharine sweetness of prasada, charan amrit...
Touch: the textures... of fabric, of the gritty dust...
This year has started on a good note.. a trip to Varanasi in Jan, a trip to Vrindavan in Feb..
hmmm Ver next??
