  • Hindu holy men perform a "puja" which is a ceremony to their gods, along India's Ganges River in their holiest city, Varanasi (formerly Banaras). Varanasi is principally known to travelers for its ghats (stone steps leading directly into the water). Most ghats are used for ritual bathing. Hindu pilgrims, while standing waist high in the water, pray to cleanse their souls as they face the rising sun.<br />
Varanasi also has cremation ghats because Hindus believe that those who die and are cremated in Varanasi go directly to heaven, bypassing the lengthy reincarnation process. First the dead are burned on riverside pyres, then their ashes are scattered on the sacred Ganges River.

  • Hindus gather and wash along India's Ganges River in their holiest city, Varanasi (formerly Banaras). Varanasi is principally known to travelers for its ghats (stone steps leading directly into the water). Most ghats are used for ritual bathing. Hindu pilgrims, while standing waist high in the water, pray to cleanse their souls as they face the rising sun.Varanasi also has cremation ghats because Hindus believe that those who die and are cremated in Varanasi go directly to heaven, bypassing the lengthy reincarnation process. First the dead are burned on riverside pyres, then their ashes are scattered on the sacred Ganges River.

  • In December of 2009, the Lewa Conservancy in Kenya airlifted the last four breeding age Northern White Rhinos from Prague’s Dvur Kralove Zoo in the Czech Republic 4000 miles away to live “freely” at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. The Northern White Rhino is considered by scientists to be nearly extinct. As of 2009, there are only 8 Northern White Rhinos living in the world. Scientists hope that in Africa, the temperance in climate and the room to roam will entice them to breed and establish a nucleus for potential re-population. (Photo by Ami Vitale)
