Kashi, Banaras, Maha Shamshan, Anandvan, or Varanasi is a bustling city situated in the Uttar Pradesh state of India. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and also one of the holiest cities for Hindus.

Varanasi is famous for its temples, 84 ghats, labyrinthine streets, street food, and culture. It has been a hub of religious tourism since ancient times. It is home to one of the 12 Jyotirlingas, the Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple & is considered as holiest city in the ancient text of Hinduism.

Modern day Varanasi is unique blend of smart city and heritage. It’s one of the only places in the world where you can see the unique blend of modern & ancient practices. Banarasis, the local residents of Banaras take immense pride in preserving their ancient culture & heritage.

At Varanasi Guru we utilise the same approach by using modern technology to preserve the ancient history of Varanasi.

food OF VARANASI

Food

Kachodi

Banarasi kachodi is a deep-fried puri from the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. It is made with a dough of whole wheat flour and is typically stuffed with a spicy mixture of potatoes, peas, and spices.

Malaiyo

Malaiyo (मलइयो) is prepared out of milk and is available only in the winters mostly from November till February. If one plans to visit Varanasi in this time period, I can assure this “Malaiyo” is a bucket list item.

Tamatar Chaat

Tamatar Chaat is entirely the Banarasi variant of chaat. It is an astounding combination of flavorful tanginess along with a tinge of sweetness. There is no alternative or substitute for its taste.

Bhang Lassi

As its name goes, Bhang Lassi is a magical blend of Bhang (Indian Cannabis) and Lassi (A yogurt-based Indian drink). Let me give you an insight into these two edible preparations.
