Banaras : A love story

I guess, there is a place etched in each one of our hearts - a place that truly reflects our soul. Mine is Banaras (Hindī: वाराणसी). To quote 'Elisham', it is a place to come and dream for a while. Situated on the banks of Mother Ganges - where life springs, and where you return back to - when life ends. The city to me is almost like a patient, wise old man, with stories hidden in every fold of its 3000 year old history. Sample the outstanding photo sets of Banaras in Elisham's photo blog on flickr.com. She has truly captured the way I think of this city.
