| Be careful when you take pictures on or around the Ganges. While taking a picture of a sacred cow on the banks I was approached by a man who was furious that I had, inadvertantly, included a stack of wood which was to be used for funeral pyres. Although you can watch the regular open cremations, taking a picture is an invitation for trouble. This chap actually threatened me with a public stoning! Although I knew he was blagging and most probably just after money, I played it safe and offered him a few rupees 'for the family of the deceased'. I went on my way. |
