Traffic, Old City, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India, Asia. Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. Varanasi is the most chaotic city I have ever seen. Cows, bicycle rickshaws, autorickshaws, a bull, overflowing street markets and the occasional monkey all fight for their bit of space as they go about their day. In hindsight I'm really glad that I waited until the end of the trip to see Varanasi because I don't think I could have handled it when I first arrived. Dealing with the sheer mass of humanity and insanity in Varanasi without some prior experience in India would have been too much. Even with the chaos and confusion, I did enjoy exploring the buzzing streets and taking some portraits of the many interesting characters I came across. This photo gallery covers the highlights from several crazy days and nights in one of India's (and the world's) oldest and most sacred cities.
