Ghats of Varanasi
The
Ganges riverfront of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, has been vying for the
UNESCO tag for several years now. According to a paper ‘
Varanasi as Heritage City (India) on the scale of the UNESCO World Heritage List: From Contestation to Conservation’, Varanasi’s riverfront mainly falls “into the second category of cultural properties, i.e:
groups of buildings, groups of separate or
connected buildings which, because of their
architecture, their
homogeneity or their place in the landscape are of
outstanding universal value from the point of view of
history, art or science.”
