Those are amazing pictures of the gullies in Benares. It would be great if you could publish a book of all your pictures of Benares. But there must be a gazillion picture books of Benares. The walkways are so narrow. It is amazing that any of this stuff still survives and for how long if parts or portions of it are redeveloped. Such a struggle to hold on to the old India when everyone is so busy creating the new India. And then there is a huge temple that seems a part of the old India that has been constructed in the middle of New Jersey, Baps Swaminarayan Akshardham North America in Robbinsville, NJ.

Thanks!

I actually don’t know how much is left near the old temple.
