The original Sanskrit work by Pt. Bhau Shastri Vajhe is considered a scholarly and detailed account of the sacred city of Kashi.\r\n\r\nHistorical Focus: It delves into the ancient and mythological history of Varanasi, often referencing Puranas, Upanishads, and other Sanskrit texts to establish its historical and religious importance.\r\n\r\nScholarly Edition: The combined effort of Dr. Surendra Chandra Brahma providing the Hindi translation and Dr. Madhav Janardan Ratate as the editor makes this edition accessible to a wider audience, allowing non-Sanskrit readers to study the historical text.\r\n\r\nThis book would be highly valuable for anyone interested in the history, geography, and religious significance of Varanasi.
