"My wife gets squeamish but getting a massage on the ghats is an ancient brahmin tradition," Abhishek Dwivedi shouts over the din of the ghats. Dwivedi is a sales manager for a shoe company that takes him back and forth between Varanasi and Allahabad. "To a brahmin, it doesn’t matter who wins or loses the election. All that matters is that we are behind the scenes. And we always are.” Dr. Rajendra Prasad Ghat, Varanasi, February 13, 2022
