morning life around Wazirabad ghat

early early thursday morning three of us girls started our morning at Wazirabad Ghat...
ghat is a series of steps leading down to a body of water, particularly a holy river...
Wazirabad is an area in Delhi that none of us had visited before...and I don't think we would have found the place if it weren't for Indomania Tours....


innovative touch on the swing....


the ghat at Yamuna river... ghat meaning man made steps leading down to the water....


a male doing his morning prayer to the sun....


far far away I saw the lotus flowers....the water lillies...so beautiful even from far far away....


the ghat plays an important role...bathing,washing,religious and social.....for both animals and people...




looks like he saw a fish or something...I was waiting for him to dive in.....


playing...trying to catch a fish...people also bring the holy water home...


yes, you can buy a container to bring back holy water....


these lady vendors where happy even if it was early in the morning ...


the kids had been out picking lotus flowers....


so beautiful....look at those buds.....


the flowers where almost as big as she was...


 there where 4 or 5 temples around the ghat so of course we found a sadhu also...


he had quite a beautiful spot didn't he.....


  a good view of the whole ghat....


I find the lotus flower so beautiful...just look at these...and they where so big....
see the bird in the corner..a cormorant ! drying his wings....

it was really nice to be out so early....different air, light and less people...
this was one part of our  Yamuna River tour with Piyush from Indomania Tours....
so there will be more...
if you are interested you can find Indomania Tours on Facebook.....
they have a couple of different ones and we will go on another one when all of us are back from vacation again...

enjoy your cozy friday !
