Vintage Steel Cut Print - Benares

An exquisite 19th-century steel-cut print that transports you to the ghats of Benares (now Varanasi)—India’s eternal city and spiritual heart. At the center of this intricately rendered scene stands the sacred Kashi Vishwanath Temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and among the most revered shrines to Lord Shiva. Crafted using the steel engraving technique—valued in the 1800s for its fine detailing and lasting impressions—this print beautifully captures the architectural splendour and sacred atmosphere of the time. Elegantly mounted on an off-white background and framed in a sleek black frame, it makes for a striking wall piece and a rare collectible that brings together history, devotion, and timeless artistry.
