Walk with us into the alleys of the Ansari weavers, sari makers and see the beautiful detailed work done by hand in homes and courtyards by traditional Banaras artisans. See the inside courtyards of some of the most beautiful heritage properties of Banaras.

You will also see people handcrafting images of gods & goddesses and stretching silk strings. As you walk through the inner lanes you will end up strolling down Dal Mandi, the former courtesan’s street which is now a vibrant Muslim bazaar!

A trip to some of the deepest corners of Banaras, few tourists see. See how cloth is weaved, the Indian traditional way. It’s been like this for a really long time. Find out how they handcraft images of gods & goddesses. Talk to people, ask questions, no matter what they are. Dig out every piece of information. An average tourist will just visit the ghats and take a few pictures. You get to see the real Banaras, from the inside.
