India is a diverse country and I can say there are beautiful places but because of the burgeoning population the areas are getting filled with the crowd and also with the people. So here I would like to talk about the time when I visited the crowded place. It happened about one year back. I received about one week vacation from my work and he and my family decided to visit the Varanasi temple to take the blessings from the Lord Shiva which is one of the most popular in the Rinan temple. So I just booked the ticket of my parents and my siblings. We all went there by taking the help of road transportation. As soon as we reached the railway, I was totally shocked by looking at the crowd. Although it was also a time of a festival, so it’s acceptable that the crowds will be there. But also when we started travelling and moving towards the hotel which we booked earlier in our through the booking online app, there was a full massive traffic. The roads were congested with traffic jams and gridlock were present. It takes around one hour to reach the hotel. Moreover the next day we went to the Kashi Vishna temple. For taking the worship of God, we stand in a long queue. It took around three hours to take the blessings from the Lord Shiva. After that at the time of evening we visited the Dashmish Ghat. However this place shows the culture and the heritage. It also has a strong connection with the Hindu mythology because of which the people from all over the world visit this place to enjoy the beauty. And also to just leave in a particular ambience in a peaceful because of the prayer which offers at the Ashram.

So here I would like to talk about the time when I visited a crowded place. It happened about one year ago. I received about one week of vacation from my work, and my family decided to visit the Varanasi temple to take blessings from Lord Shiva, which is one of the most popular temples in the region. I booked tickets for my parents and my siblings. We all went there using road transportation. As soon as we reached the railway station, I was totally shocked by the crowd. Although it was also a time of a festival, so it was acceptable that there would be crowds. However, when we started traveling and moving towards the hotel we had booked earlier through an online booking app, there was massive traffic. The roads were congested with traffic jams and gridlock. It took around one hour to reach the hotel. Moreover, the next day we went to the Kashi Vishwanath temple to worship God. We stood in a long queue, and it took around three hours to receive blessings from Lord Shiva. After that, in the evening, we visited Dashashwamedh Ghat. This place showcases the culture and heritage of the area. It also has a strong connection with Hindu mythology, which is why people from all over the world visit this place to enjoy its beauty and to experience a particular ambiance of peace due to the prayers offered at the Ashram.
