Benares, the sacred city: Sketches of Hindu life and religion
Benares, the Sacred City is a 1912 travelogue and study of Hindu life and religion by Ernest B. Havell, illustrated with photographic plates of Benares, the holy city on the Ganges. The four pictures show a colonnaded arcade with pointed arches, a riverside skyline of temples and steps, a carved stone wall with a tree overhanging it, and a temple doorway flanked by seated stone lions, giving a designer photographic views of Indian architecture and sacred street scenes, with the scans rotated sideways.
