Hindu devotees gather along the banks of the River Ganges after the solar eclipse in Varanasi on July 22. The longest solar eclipse of the 21st century plunged millions across Asia into temporary darkness on Wednesday, triggering scenes of religious fervour.
A total solar eclipse is seen in Varanasi, India, Wednesday, July 22, 2009. The longest solar eclipse of the 21st century pitched a swath of Asia from India to China into near darkness Wednesday as millions gathered to watch the phenomenon. It's amazing what people in other parts of the world come up with as a superstition or cult religion. I often wonder where all this stuff comes from, I guess it's from those "holy men" that have come down through the ages, from father to sons.
