About the Book
Varanasi, one of the most ancient cities in the world, is a treasure trove of cultural heritage. A blend of spiritual and secular influences from centuries of historical events and settlements, it encompasses both intangible and tangible assets, social contracts, and norms of knowledge, traditions, and customs. Known as Kashi, Banaras, or Varanasi, the city carries a complex identity shaped by the collective memory of its inhabitants over generations and the multi-dimensional cultural constructs that have evolved within it.
This bilingual publication provides an in-depth exploration of the city’s cultural and historical identity through a comprehensive mapping by the Intangible Cultural Heritage division of INTACH. The goal is to unravel the intricacies of city life, examining both its ancient and authentic roots, as well as the transitions and transformations it has undergone over time. Co-published by INTACH and Aditya Prakashan, this work offers valuable insights into the continuity and change experienced by Varanasi, making it an essential resource for those interested in the intersection of history, culture, and sociology.
