Three lovely Indian tourists sit by the ghats, taking in the hustle of daily life on the banks of the Ganges. As illustrated in this photo, India is a feast for a photographer's senses. Besides sight, a day in India brings chaotic stimulation to the rest of your senses. This is a top reason India is one of my favorite countries in the world. It, however, is not for everyone.
