Devotees make e-donations during Ganga Aarti in Varanasi
In the wake of demonetisation, several devotees are opting for digital wallets to make donations during the Ganga Aarti in Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi. People can be seen scanning the QR code with their smartphones to make donations online. In February 2015, two ghats in Varanasi – Dashashwamedh Ghat and Shitala Ghat received free Wi-Fi service via BSNL.
