Dasaswamedh Ghat is the heart of the action and the top attraction in Varanasi. One of the oldest and holiest Varanasi ghats, it's where the famous Ganga aartitakes place every evening. The carnival of goings-on, with a constant flow of pilgrims, Hindu priests, flower sellers and beggars from dawn til dusk, is absorbing. It's possible to sit and watch for hours, and not get bored. There's also a hectic marketplace there.
