Description

A kaleidoscopic view of Banaras, Varanasi charts a narrative that spans from the city' s present day, to its origins as Kashi, and the fin de siè cle of the eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries, which witnessed Varanasi' s inclusionary development as a cultural and pilgrimage centre, an opulent trading hub, and a basilica of political power.
