Varanasi Hotels

The city of Varanasi has a rich heritage of art and culture. Its impact on the Indian history as well as its music contribution has been quite impressive over the many years. The prolific designing and the art work available here cannot be located anywhere else in India and holds a place of its own among the Indian contingent. Starting from clothes to several other aspects like small handiworks are truly praiseworthy. Even, the quality of music is quite astounding.

• Art

Varanasi Sarees are almost a traditional wear among the Hindus and is flaunted on several occasions, where the women desire to carry themselves out in grace and style. The weight of the saree is a little on the heavier side considering the amount of effort of craftsmanship put into it. However, it does little to wave their impact on women. Even the exquisite Jari work on the sarees and other garments are quite magnificently done and are bought up for a finer taste. Handicrafts and wooden styled showpieces and dolls are always there to mesmerize the tourists, who visit this religious place.

• Music

Being a center to the Benares Gharana of music style, this place has produced several great musicians in the Indian history, who have acclaimed fame throughout the world. Most notable among the musicians are Late Ustad Bismillah Khan, who had a unique gift for the Shehnai, Pandit Ravi Shankar, who has popularized Sitar throughout the world, and of course Hariprasad Chaurasia, who has done equal justice to the Gharana’s music.
