Jörg Gengnagel and Vera Lazzaretti (Milano) attended the 24th European Conference on South Asian Studies on 27 - 30 July, 2016 at the University of Warsaw. They participated in the panel "Spatial and Visual Dimensions of Pilgrimage in South Asia". Their lecture „Banaras and Beyond. Confluences of Devotion at the three Cities of Gayā, Kāśī and Prayāg in a Pilgrimage Scroll from Mewar”, presented reflections about an early 18th century pictorial map from Mewar. The scroll depicts the city of Varanasi in a unique way and has only received little scholarly attention so far.
