Kashi: The Abode Of Shiva
<b>A unique coffee-table book equipped with visuals narrating the story of the revered Kashi Vishwanath temple and Shiva and Parvati�s favourite city�one which they blessed and vowed to protect as their own and the only city they call their home.</b><br><br> Many experienced photographers have visually documented Varanasi in the past. Interestingly, none of their publications had images of the city�s most revered attraction, the Kashi Vishwanath Temple. The simple reason is that photography inside most of the prominent Hindu temples in India is prohibited. <i>Kashi: The Abode of Shiva</i> breaks the pattern. Through intensive fieldwork and exhaustive research, the author, in a first-of-a-kind endeavour, brings to the fore an unprecedented visual journey of one of the most important Hindu shrines�the Kashi Vishwanath Temple. In addition to documenting the temple�s ritualistic and festive activities, the book fosters a distinctive blend of stories that intertwine mythology with history, all centred on the city�s presiding deity. <br><br> This contributes significantly to the vibrant celebration of the spirit of Kashi, enriching its ritual and sacredandscape.
