US Ambassador Eric Garcetti was all praise for Varanasi as he shared his thoughts on witnessing sunrise from its famed ghats and watching the Ganga aarti. He said Ganga aarti was a “beautiful reminder of how tradition shapes us”. “The lights reflecting on the river and the sound of bells echoing in the night create an unforgettable atmosphere. Varanasi, you’ve touched my soul,” he wrote on X.
