  Bird seller- Varanasi Ghats
by lynnehamman
 
 

Along the ghats in Varanasi, men walk along carrying caged birds. For a few rupees, you can pay him, and set free one of the birds. The birds seemed very tame, and they probably return to their cage eventually, but I liked the idea anyway.

Address: Ghats , Varanasi

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
