The Burning Ghat Varanasi

Benaras has been a muse to artists since times immemorial and it is a strong possibility that many of the anonymous artists who painted this city paved the way for future generations to understand how to evoke an emotional response to this city through their art. Painted here is a typical scene of the Manikarnika ghat, the largest and most auspicious cremation ghat along the river Ganga. It’s the detailing of various elements that gives this painting a pulsating energy and momentum.
