The Ganga and Kumbh Mela
Temples of the Ganga
This was a perfect backdrop for shooting, because out in a boat on the Ganges you can have the crowd facing you. The backdrop are the string of temples to Hindu gods and dieties that line the river at Varanasi. I don't think they are exceptionally old, hundreds of years probably, because much of the city was destroyed during the Moghul invasions.
