The holy confluence to nirvana : Devprayag

in #devprayag7 years ago (edited)

Travel.  It's a must. The most effective way to cleanse your soul and anhiliate the fouling stress within you.  

Life isn't what is offered to us,  rather what we make of it. We are gifted with a birth,time and an end andthe interim defines you.  


Sharing with you all a recent travel to the holy revered confluence of two rivers in India,  forming the mighty Ganges ( Ganga in Hindi) .

In Hinduism, the river Ganga is personified as Goddess and holds an important place in the religion.  is believed that bathing in the river Ganga causes the remission of sins and facilitates the attainment of salvation or nirvana. 

A couple of pictures to share :

The two rivers.  One on the left is river Alaknanda and from the right is rive Bhagirathi. 

This mini truck is the local mode of transportation over here.  Some real skilled drivers I must say, lol.  They carry about 10 passengers in a go.  No less than a rollercoaster ride in there along the sweeping curves. 

The gang! 

The smart-ass  got some solid walnuts to have on the way.  not peanuts,  not almonds,  not any other nuts but walnuts!  




Keep travelling.  Stay good. 

Cheers
