Excellent set. My favourite is the boatman against that lovely sky.

(This might sound mundane, but I never thought about how much muscle those guys must need to wield those lamps! This is one of the stories your pics told me :) )

Thad, Vyasji, Girish, Soumen thank you all for liking the images.

@Thad, same thoughts did cross my mind too! It seems wielding those heavy lamps come from years of practice.

Terrific images, Roy.  It's difficult to pick a favorite one.  The dusk lighting sets off the fire images very nicely.  Great people pictures, well conceived and composed.  Thanks for sharing that beautiful piece of Indian culture.

Happy Day.

Glad you liked them Henry. Thanks a lot for the appreciation! Regards.

Lovely set. Inspite of me having Varanasi in my bucket list for quite some time now , could never make it till date. Some of the images specially 1, 3 and 4 is forcing me to plan a visit this winter.  Can be a delight for a portait , candid and street photography.
