"Benaras" is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together". Mark Twain.
".. crammed perspective of platforms, soaring stairways, sculptured temples, majestic palaces, softening away from the distances and there is movement, motion, human life everywhere and brilliantly costumed - streaming in rainbows up and down the lofty stairways..". Mark Twain
Varanasi is a magical place with a ambiance that Mark Twain describes so well in his words. Well, I finally picked up the guts to paint it with Oil. I wanted to use my palette knife for the entire painting but used it for the sky and the water and brush for the rest!! The painting is very colorful predominantly with cerulean blues, barium oranges and chrome yellows.
