This print titled "Benares, the 'ghat' of the Ganges" takes us back to 1965, capturing the essence of one of India's most sacred and vibrant cities. The lens of renowned photographer Quilici, Folco transports us to Benares (also known as Varanasi), a city steeped in spirituality and rich cultural heritage. The image showcases an architectural marvel that is synonymous with this ancient city - the ghat. These monumental steps leading down to the holy river Ganges are not just mere structures but hold immense religious significance for Hindus. Each step represents a different deity or mythological story, making it a pilgrimage site for devotees from all over India. In this particular shot, we witness the intricate details and decorative elements adorning these ghats. The building sections display exquisite craftsmanship with their ornate carvings and delicate motifs. As our eyes wander through this visual masterpiece, we notice small boats gently gliding along the river's surface, adding life to an already picturesque landscape. Transportation plays a crucial role in Benares' daily life, evident by various modes seen here - be it people climbing up or descending down these stairs or boats ferrying passengers across the river. This scene encapsulates both methodical movement and tranquility simultaneously. Quilici's composition skillfully captures every element that defines Benares – its architecture reflecting centuries-old traditions; housing structures standing tall against time; religious fervor permeating through every corner; and finally, nature's gift –the meandering course of River Ganges itself. This print allows us to immerse ourselves in an era gone by while appreciating how certain aspects remain timeless even today. It serves as a testament to Quilici's ability to freeze moments forever on film while reminding us of our connection with history and culture.
