How, you ask? Well, on your fingertips, ma’am. We have been experiencing Banaras exquisitely since time immemorial, but all you ladies may not have gotten a chance to know Banaras the way we do. So, we have chosen five best documentaries on Banaras out of the amazing lot out there, which can make you feel Banaras right in your heart, no matter which corner of the world you are in. So, let’s find out more about the documentaries, shall we?
- Subah-e-Banaras is a documentary by Moonlight Pictures which captures the essence of the mornings that we wake up to in Banaras. The documentary covers the golden mornings at the ghats of Banaras and the soul of the city that brings out cultural richness and spiritual feelings without fail. The video is all about feeling and experiencing Banaras, rather than just witnessing it. You can watch the documentary on YouTube: https://youtu.be/L-2MUmGTkDA
- Being a historical city, Banaras has been explored by many just to understand the gravity and the magnanimity of the city as one of the most cultural, religious, mysterious, and holy places of all in India. The documentary by Sanjay Charan of Chhoti Film City, titled BANARAS : Older Than History, focuses on the city being a place unknown to many and moves ahead to capture the very essence of the holy city and make the viewers etch the feeling into their minds.

- When we talk about documentaries, National Geographic is one source that never fails to amaze us. Their documentary, A Whirlwind Journey Through Varanasi, India—and Beyond, is a piece that has been focusing on the six-week-long journey of filmmaker Benn Berkely, who shares his trip to Banaras on this journey. It is more of a short film, and will give you a broad idea about the authentic essence of Banaras, and leave you craving for more. Watch the documentary on YouTube: https://youtu.be/FvszRx4nL3U
