    Excellent video! Your content and coverage in this city was amazing. I’ve no doubt the majority of your viewers have never seen anything like this before or even imagined the significance and importance of the Ganges (Ganga) river! I’ll be honest and say I’ve not seen anything that would entice me to visit India, but your videos and educational narrations have been outstanding, to say the very least. I’m happy to see you were smart enough to avoid swimming in the river itself. You’ve already had your share of medical issues during your journey’s over the past! As for washing away your sins, I’d say hold onto them for now. When you get back to Italy or Poland, there you can enter the Roman church, and if the ceiling does not crack when you enter, I’d say you’re good to go! 🏆🏆🏆. I’ll give you one of these too, just to be safe: ✝️
