About the Book
Varanasi: A passage to immortality, is a 156-page coffee table book by Rishi Agrawal and Arun Saha. Varanasi is a city of contrasts. The form and the formless, the real and surreal, the life and the death all co-exist here. This timeless city invites our heart, mind, and soul to undertake a journey within as we roam its alleys. Its stories, legends, and myths lend an aura of magic to this spiritual heart of the world. The book is a collection of 200 soulful images to spark sublime conversations. Each page is a walk through the colourful by-lanes of the abode of Shiva and Annapurna. The photos capture the contentment of people, brilliance of ghats, colourful wall murals, delectable street foods, fine crafts, world-famous weaves, exuberant festivals, and famous personalities of this immortal city. The book is the author’s dream to paint the portrait of the unique forms, flavours, colours, smells, and textures of Varanasi through their lens. Get to know Kashi like a local, its akhadas, chai pe adi, malaiyyo, nag nathania, dev deepawali, Tulsi and Kabir. Rishi spent 4 years here, immersed in the traditions and finer aspects of the city’s persona, by the Ganges, riding his cycle to the nooks and corners of the city. His early dismay turned into a lifelong fascination with the flavours of this city of contradictions. Arun’s photographic sojourns have taken him to Kashi over and over again. This book is the outcome of his long-cherished dream to show the world the divinity and reality of life in Varanasi as his heart sees it.
