North India, along the Ganges<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

From sacred chants at sunrise to soulful rituals at dusk, the Ganga is more than a river. It is a goddess, a giver of life, and a keeper of memory. To follow her is to follow the rhythm of India itself – ancient, fluid, and endlessly transformative.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
