If someone were to make a list of the most culturally-rich cities, Varanasi would surely make it to one of the top spots. And well, we have proof. A video posted by the official Twitter handle of The Lallantop featuring a Banarasi boatman has gone viral online. Why, you ask? Well, while rowing the boat on the holy Ganga river, he serenaded the tourists with a thumri (a genre of Indian classical music) and it is just too good to miss out on.
In the now-viral video, the boatman named Bhumi Nishad can be seen serenading The Lallantop’s team with a thumri. He rowed the boat while singing with utmost soul. The melodious song against the backdrop of the holy Ganga will truly steal your heart.
