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.
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. Kashi: The Abode of Shiva 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.
This contributes significantly to the vibrant celebration of the spirit of Kashi, enriching its ritual
and sacred landscape.
