Varanasi is a Shiva city meaning it's mascot deity is lord Shiva. There are many temples dedicated to lord Shiva; worshippers and holy men paint horizontal lines across their foreheads in his honour and as I sign of their devotion.
Inside this very large temple on the second level a tabla and sitar musician played peaceful gracious music. They sat on a blanket on the floor facing one of the main shrine.
