Book Description
In this magnificent book, made up of images culled from three decades of work, Raghu Rai captures more of Varanasi's distinctive, timeless character than anyone else ever has. Rai paints a portrait not just of a holy city but of an entire civilization, depicting its unique way of life, and showing us worlds within worlds. In photograph after photograph, the secular and the profane coexist; the old can hardly be told from the new. Everything is experienced at once - the ghats, the streets, the faith, the temples, the river, the celebrations, man and beast, the burning bodies, all jostling for space in the same frame. These photographs demonstrate unforgettably how all of India is in Varanasi, inspiring and appalling, ancient and up-to-date. A collector's edition.

Book Description
A superb, thick and gorgeous book on Benares (Varanasi) illustratedwith over 600 colour and black and white photographs (fromthe 1950 s up to the late 1990 s), and including a long and comprehensivetext section, index, maps, glossary and bibliography. A rarecombination of creative photography and cultural history put togetherby one man, this book both visually and textually is the mostmassive presentation of this extraordinary city ever attempted. Unflinchingin his observations, yet enormously sensitive to his subject,Lannoy records the everyday life of Hinduism s most sacredcity. And it is not through the formal acts of ritual, but through themost ordinary gestures of riverside and marketplace that the charged,heightened drama of life in Benares unfolds. Indisputably the bestbook of its kind.Richard Lannoy, internationally known photographer and writer,has been visiting and photographing Benares since the 1950 s.

Book Description
Varanasi has attracted pilgrims from all over India for over 2500years. A number of landscape artists, almost entirely from Britain,began coming to India towards the end of the 18th century, andmade superb sketches of Varanasi when they visited the city.The views of Varanasi by the visiting landscape artists gave notonly the outside world but also the Indians themselves the first evervisual impressions of the scenic splendours of the holy city. Untilthen no such visual record existed because of the lack of the genre oflandscape painting in an otherwise rich Indian art.Assembled from public and private art collections in India andabroad, these views are now being published together, along with ashort survey of travellers accounts of their visits to Varanasi, for thefirst time.
