Prof. Amita Sinha, University of Illinois- UC, USA ...Only by exploring Banaras over many years, so as to uncover its multiple belief systems, cultural patterns, spatial territories and superimposed archaeological layers, is it possible to develop a complete picture like this one. Dr. George Michell, London, UK ... The author has consistently written books and papers of outstanding interest on the holy city of Banaras.
