Air date: Nov 01, 2016

In the northeast of India, Varanasi, located on the Ganges, is the holy city of India par excellence, with nearly one million pilgrims a year. It is one of the oldest cities in the world, and it is now experiencing strong demographic growth that is pushing it to modernise. Ojay Ratan Banerjee, a specialist in Varanasi, introduces Philippe to a city of contrasts, eternal for believers, but whose architectural heritage is threatened.
