Varanasi Festivals & Events

It is worth scheduling a visit to Varanasi during one of their fairs or festivals that are held on a grand scale as the city is the most colourful and liveliest at this time. Be prepared for throngs of tourists, both local and foreigners, during this time.
  • Makara Sankranti during January and Basant Panchami during January-February are the popular festivals celebrated in Varanasi.
  • Maha Shivaratri held during February-March is a very special religious festival in Varanasi. It is marked with many rituals and festivities all through Varanasi and is a good time to explore the local culture of the city.
