In Varanasi (India), before the Puja.
I recorded this file in Varanasi (India), at the end of afternoon, waiting for Puja, which is a Hindu celebration held in honour of Ganga, every evening, around the ghats, near Ganges river.
Here, one can hear a priest singing and chanting while people are coming to join the celebration which will start later. In the background, some music from the surroundings and bells from the nearby Hindu temples can be heard.
Recorded in September 2007 with a Boss Micro-BR.
