Sunrise at the Ganges

We rose early to board our boat for an hour long ride along the River Ganges to witness the sun rise as locals and pilgrims bathed in the water. This is a daily ritual for some as they believe in its power to heal skin diseases and wash away their sins. Allan has pictures of this which I couldn't download to this post.

All I could think of was the words to the hymn:
What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Oh precious is the flow that makes me white as snow--no other fount I know. Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
