Boat Driver

The Stories of Varanasi

Riding boats is ancestral for me, it is in my caste. My job is taking tourists around, I have been

doing this for 70 years. Our business is doing great because Varanasi has a large influx of

tourists. I have children and grandchildren, we are happy here at mother Ganga. This river is a

mother to us, my real mother, where I live. The river has always been holy, we never forget

Mother Ganga.
