Samuel Bourne (England,
1834-1912): "Vishnu Pud and Other Temples near the
Burning Gat, Benares."
These temples are located
on the banks of the Ganges in the holy city of the Hindus,
now called Varanasi. The ghats are steps to the river, the
"burning ghat" being a place for cremations. The
umbrellas shelter holy men who help pilgrims with rituals.
Maharaja Runjeet Singh donated equal amounts of Gold to
both Har Mandar Sahib as well as Benares - Hari Ram Gupta
