Description

In this magnificent book, made up of images culled from three decades of work, Raghu Rai captures more of Varanasi’s distinctive, timeles 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.
