Sara Tendulkar, daughter of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, spent a quick but vibrant 36 hours exploring the spiritual hub alongside her mother, Anjali Tendulkar

Despite her short stay, the nutritionist and biomedical scientist made the most of her time, immersing herself in the local culture, iconic foods, and timeless textiles

Food was another major part of her journey. Sara enjoyed everything from hot kulhad chai to the city’s famous spicy and tangy street chaat

One of the highlights of her trip was shopping for exquisite Banarasi sarees. In her “Varanasi photo dump,” Sara posted a colourful stack of handwoven drapes in hues of purple, red, green, pink and blue, all adorned with classic zari work

When in Varanasi, a visit to the ghats is an experience one must definitely have. Sara did it too

She also tasted the tiranga barfi, a tricolour sweet that received a GI tag in April 2024, along with traditional local treats like dahi vada
