This is part 4 from the book.

There are over 200 pictures in this YEAR 1928 book. I will post them batch by batch. I remember posting pictures from two other German books in the past. This is the third German book, I am using.

In part four, rare pictures of Kasi also known as Benares and Varanasi are posted; we see different temples, River Ganges, Pilgrims’ bathing and how Hindus cremate dead bodies on the banks of Ganga. One picture shows the plan of city of Kasi
