The Sacred City of the Hindus: An Account of Benares in Ancient and Modern Times is a book written by M.A. Sherring. It provides a comprehensive description of the holy city of Benares, also known as Varanasi, which is considered one of the most sacred places in India. The book covers the history, culture, and religious significance of the city, from its ancient origins to modern times. The author explores the various temples, shrines, and ghats (steps leading down to the river) that make up the city, and discusses the rituals and customs associated with them. He also delves into the social and political aspects of the city, including the caste system and the influence of British colonialism. The Sacred City of the Hindus is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Indian culture, religion, and history, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the heart of one of the world's most sacred cities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
