The Ghats Of Benaras

Benaras is globally, one of the rare and oldest sites to have had continuous inhabitation. Being the spiritual capital of Hindu religion, the city has a unique character and attraction. There is no place like Benaras and there would not be one, ever. No wonder photographers from all over the world have been flocking here since last century to catch the spirit of Benaras. But Benaras never tires of them. It is forever old. Hence forever new. Shibnath Basu’s rare sense of poetic sensibility once again makes it amply clear why Benaras is inexhaustive, why one may have seen Benaras a hundred times over and yet one never tires of its sights and sounds.
