To save time for the high-powered, we are a budget guesthouse, so it is with regret that we cannot provide the high standards of large establishments. We are small and cozy, we are good company ... but we don’t have a swimming pool! Our house is old- the old Kashi Vishwanath temple was destroyed in 1669 by Aurangzeb. The current structure is believed to have been built by Maharani Ahilya Bai Holkar of Indore in 1780. Our house is believed to have been built in the 1700's. The guest house is full of different colors. All the walls of house are colorful and nicely decorated. We have tried to make our rooms like your room at home, your 'pad'. All our family are outgoing and friendly. That is just our nature. Our rooms are not like hospital rooms or like a box. They each posses character. We have a rooftop where you can sit at sunset time and take tea in privacy. You can watch the sun go down over the city. Sometimes, on special occasions, we can organize Indian classical music concerts on the rooftop. As we are very near to the Ghats and the famous Golden Temple you can see many small Indian temples around our house. It is the oldest corner of the Holy city of Varanasi, Kashi, the City of Light. Music and Language Courses: As teaching is our family tradition, so we provide music lessons of Sitar, Tabla, Flute, Harmonium, Flute etc and we also sell all kinds of Indian musical Instruments. We also offer Hindi language and Cookery courses in our house. If you have a day or two, please don't forget to have some cultural experience with us.
