A Banarasi on Varanasi

Varanasi is Hinduism''s holiest and one of the world''s oldest living cities. For centuries travellers have written about the experience of being swept away by the religious fervour that it has inspired. It is an entirely different perspective that the Varanasi born and bred author brings to this book. Going beyond the usual tourist trail the author takes the reader through a rich visual and verbal experience that only an insider could possibly provide.
