Mahashivratri aur Banaras
Mahashivratri aur Banaras
Varanasi models itself around Shiv and his carefree, all-accepting & forever
plugged-in nature. And on Mahashivrati, his city goes bonkers! Dancing,
Music, high-energy Pilgrimages, Bhaang, Baraat and more to rejuvenate the
soul and replenish its energy for the coming year 🙂
People make a city. And Banaras has some true gems, from different walks of
life all of whom share a common approach of simple happy living. A mere
conversation with them rejuvenates the spirit as we’ve pleasantly discovered.
And now, we’re really eager for you to meet them!
Being the learning capital of India, Varanasi interacts with you like no place
else. With its forest life approach to life, it might also put you out of your
comfort zone a little. But eventually, the magical Ghats, Ganga, and Gallis
will cast a spell to lead you somewhere within that’s new and worthwhile 🙂

An Amazing Tour That Exceed Expectations
After learning about Roobaroo Walks on Tripadvisor, we sent them an inquiry at 9:30am and by 2:30 we were enjoying a private customized tour. Akshat’s enthusiasm for the history, colors and textures of Varanasi was infectious and he struck the perfect balance between keeping us on task with our requested agenda and providing us the space to connect with locals, take lots of pictures and explore the areas that captured our fancy.
Ticks all boxes
I visited Varanasi with my family comprising of senior citizens and child, I had apprehensions about the visit (crowd, narrow streets etc.) but the whole tour was impeccably organised.
