In terms of the learning content, multimedia presentations typically present pre-recorded imagery, and pre-recorded commentaries. Because of the living- daily, seasonal and annual - rhythms of Banaras, the exhibit
will explore how the learner can connect
'live', directly to the priest in the Shiva temple, the pilgrims on the ghats, the boatman in the river, the gurus in the pavilions, and the musicians and dancers
in the schools. Of course, interpretation
and scholarship will be available to the museum - goer but, our primary focus is
on accessing living culture.
