Kund,Tanks,[Summary Plus Entry] Edited by renowned architectural historian George Michell and cultural geographer Rana P.B. Singh, this volume presents a multi-disciplinary study of Varanasi, one of the world's oldest living cities. The book features essays from top scholars detailing the urban transformation, architectural sacredness, and social fabric of Kashi. A major highlight of the text—as noted in the Kund and Tanks remarks—is its deep-dive into the city's complex sacred water architecture, mapping the historic stepwells, kunds, religious water reservoirs, and monumental stone ghats along the Ganges that structure both the physical urban landscape and daily ritual lifeworlds
