While Varanasi's spiritual and religious sites are undoubtedly its main draw, venturing off the beaten path reveals a hidden world of artistry and tradition. The city is renowned for its exquisite silk weaving, a craft that has been passed down through generations. Explore the narrow lanes of the old city to discover hidden silk weaving workshops, where skilled artisans create intricate patterns and designs on handlooms. Witness the meticulous process of silk production, from spinning the threads to weaving the fabric, and gain a deeper appreciation for this ancient art form.
Beyond the silk workshops, Varanasi's hidden gems include lesser-known temples, ancient ruins, and vibrant local markets. Discover the peaceful ambiance of the Tulsi Manas Temple, dedicated to the poet-saint Tulsidas, or explore the ruins of Sarnath, where Buddha delivered his first sermon. Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of the local markets, where you can find everything from spices and textiles to traditional handicrafts and souvenirs. Interacting with locals and experiencing their daily lives is another way to uncover Varanasi's hidden treasures.
