DUSASUMADE GAUT, AT BERNARES, ON THE RiVER GANGES.
The Gauts at Bernares are the most considerable of any on the Ganges. The houses on the river side are occupied for the greater part by religious Hindoos. Vast multitudes of devotees, and others, resort to this city to perform penance, and transact mercantile affairs. An opinion prevails amongst them, that drawing their last breath at Cossi (the ancient name of this holy city) is a circumstance much in favour of their enjoyment of future happiness.
Bernares is four hundred and sixty miles N. W. from Calcutta, on the eastern bank of the river.
