Banaras Reconstructed: Architecture and Sacred Space in a Hindu Holy City Book Information:

late sixteenth and early twentieth centuries, Banaras, the iconic Hindu centre in northern India that is often described as the oldest living city in the world, was reconstructed materially and imaginatively, and embellished with temples, monasteries, mansions, and Ghats.
In Banaras reconstructed, Madhuri Desai examines the convergences as well as the tensions that have shaped this complex and remarkable city and explores larger questions about religious urban environments in South Asia. In so doing, she raises issues central to both historical and contemporary Indian identity.
This book will be essential reading across several disciplines, including history, art and architectural history, urban history, South Asian studies, and religious studies.
