Kashi’s Hidden Gems: Offbeat Places to Explore in Varanasi

Varanasi, also known as Kashi, is one of the most spiritual and culturally rich cities in India. While the ghats of the Ganges and temples like Kashi Vishwanath are famous worldwide, the city also holds numerous lesser-known gems that provide a unique perspective of its history, traditions, and spiritual aura. If you are looking to explore beyond the conventional tourist spots, here are some hidden gems of Varanasi that should be on your itinerary.

1. Kathwala Temple (Nepali Temple)

Known as the "Mini Khajuraho of Varanasi," the Kathwala Temple is an architectural masterpiece built in the Nepali style by the King of Nepal. Made of wood with intricate carvings, this temple offers a peaceful retreat from the city's bustling streets.

Location: Lalita Ghat, Varanasi
Why Visit? Unique wooden architecture, peaceful ambiance, and a Nepalese cultural influence.


2. Rajghat and Alamgir Mosque

Rajghat, located on the northern end of Varanasi, is often overlooked by tourists. The historic Alamgir Mosque, built by Aurangzeb, stands here, showcasing a blend of Mughal and Hindu architecture.

Location: Near Malviya Bridge, Varanasi
Why Visit? Stunning views of the Ganges, lesser-crowded ghats, and an interesting mix of historical influences.


3. Varanasi Silk Weaving Village

Beyond spirituality, Varanasi is famous for its Banarasi silk. A visit to the silk weaving village offers a glimpse into the intricate process of making Banarasi sarees, a craft passed down for generations.

Location: Sarai Mohana, Varanasi
Why Visit? Witness traditional silk weaving, interact with artisans, and buy authentic Banarasi silk.


4. Bhonsale Ghat

Unlike the popular Dashashwamedh and Assi Ghats, Bhonsale Ghat remains relatively untouched by heavy tourist crowds. It features stunning architecture, intricate carvings, and a calm environment.

Location: Near Scindia Ghat, Varanasi
Why Visit? Architectural beauty, lesser crowd, and spiritual serenity.


5. Lolark Kund

Lolark Kund is an ancient stepwell known for its sacred waters. It is believed that taking a dip here blesses devotees with good health and fertility.

Location: Near Assi Ghat, Varanasi
Why Visit? Historical significance, peaceful surroundings, and sacred beliefs attached to the kund.


6. Bharat Mata Mandir

Unlike other temples dedicated to deities, Bharat Mata Mandir is a unique shrine dedicated to Mother India. It houses a large relief map of India made entirely of marble, showcasing the country's topography.

Location: Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth Campus, Varanasi
Why Visit? A patriotic and cultural experience, unique architecture, and educational value.


7. Reewa Ghat & Guleria Kothi

A perfect place for a peaceful boat ride, Reewa Ghat is home to the beautiful heritage property, Guleria Kothi. This ghat offers a quieter alternative to the more tourist-heavy ghats.

Location: Near Panchganga Ghat, Varanasi
Why Visit? Heritage architecture, a serene environment, and great photography spots.


8. Sarnath’s Hidden Monasteries

Sarnath is well known for its Buddhist heritage, but apart from the main stupas, several hidden monasteries and meditation centers offer a serene and less crowded experience.

Location: 10 km from Varanasi
Why Visit? Peaceful meditation spaces, hidden relics, and Buddhist teachings.


Final Thoughts

Varanasi is more than just its famous temples and ghats. These hidden gems provide a fresh perspective, allowing travelers to experience the city’s spiritual depth, rich history, and artistic traditions in a new light.
