EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting city of Benares (Varanasi) on the sacred River Ganges in India. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the rich history, religious significance, and architectural marvels that define this ancient city. The image captures a panoramic view of Benares, with its bustling riverbank adorned by majestic temples and historical buildings. The holy steps leading down to the Ganges are teeming with devotees immersed in prayer and ritualistic bathing, creating a mesmerizing sight that epitomizes Hinduism's deep-rooted presence.

These ghats serve as gateways between earthly existence and divine realms, making them an integral part of Indian culture.
