You arrive at the river before dawn: the Ganges is a slow-moving witness, its surface catching temple lamps and scattering them like coins. Boatmen propel you past stacked stone ghats where priests chant, laundry flaps in early light, and the city’s smells—incense, spices, river mud—declare history out loud.
