All sort of cuisines are available mostly as street food due to rich and hospitable culture of Varanasi.
Varanasi is a noted centre for Banarasi silk weaving and brassware. Fine silks and brocaded fabrics, exquisite saris, brassware, jewellery, woodcraft, carpets, wall hangings, lamp shades and masks of Hindu and Buddhist deities are some of Varanasi's shopping attractions. The main shopping areas include the Chowk, Godaulia, Vishwanath Lane, Lahurabir and Thatheri Bazaar. Assi Ghat, a midway point between Godaulia in the heart of downtown and youth culture of Benares Hindu University, is the district where most young, foreign, long-term residents stay.
Varanasi-the holy city and quintessential India, Banaras- the land of mysticism, spirituality & Hindu philosophy and Kashi- the city of Moksha and the most important Hindu pilgrimage destination. Although known by various names and enacting several roles during its glorious and ancient history, the city had one chief characteristic in common always which continues to this day, that of being the epicenter and essence of India.For More Information Visit : www.hotelsvaranasiindia.com
