Kala Niketan

When all of the city's locals descend upon one destination to shop for traditional Indian wear during festivals, marriages or auspicious occasions, you know this place is something to reckon with. Kala Niketan commands a huge presence in Varanasi's list of shopping options for saris, lehenga cholis and embroidered garments which make up the wedding trousseau. The rates are slightly on the higher side but you can be assured of quality and peace of mind. This is a great shop to head to if you want to take back home a slice of Varanasi's proverbial Benarasi Silk Sari.
