Good to know

Prayagraj: Hire a boat from Saraswati Ghat early in the morning; the river is calmest and the light best at sunrise.
Varanasi: Take the dawn boat on your first morning; the ghats are at their most atmospheric then.
Gaya: Pind daan rites are led by hereditary pandas who keep family records; tell us your family's home district and we arrange the right one.
