Verification: Image shared is photoshopped

The post is viral on social media with false claims. The image shown is photoshopped. Lanterns in the sky are not from Varanasi. On searching the internet for an image match after cropping the picture of the lanterns, the same lanterns and their pattern were found on Flickr.

You can see the same image on this link. The image of lanterns is from Thailand Day 09, Yi Peng Khom Loi Festival 2013

Same photo shopped image is also used at incredibleuttarpradesh with write up as shared below:

We all are lonely voyagers in this world trying to sail our ship through different kind of flows of water, some are tedious and some are swift but somehow we all are trying to stick to our ship in the hope that at some stage of life we’ll reach safely to the bank.
We know that the wind plays an important part while sailing, we need to choose the right direction of the wind. A sensible sailor chooses the wind that takes the ship to a safe port. But once you’re abroad, as you have seen, winds have a mind of their own. Be careful, careful of the wind you choose.
In any case, if the wind which was showing you the direction leaves you.. I know you’ll lose the direction, you’ll feel that you have no clue about sailing your ship but try to calm your mind down, take a deep breath and you’ll find a lantern in the sky. Look at it, its movement.. you’ll see that it’s approaching you, believe on that, follow that lantern and soon there will be the whole sky full of light. Follow their direction, take charge of the ship and remember, the tides do not command the ship.. The sailor does. –

Voyagers/sailors – we
ship – life
water – circumstances
flow – ups-down
wind – people/companion
lantern – wisdom
