Varanasi Welcomes BRICS Culture Delegates, Spotlighting Kashi on the World Stage

Kashi played host to the world's culture-keepers this month. In early June, Varanasi welcomed delegates for the second BRICS Culture Working Group meeting, held under India's BRICS presidency — and the city made the most of the spotlight. Beyond the formal sessions, visiting members were given an immersive taste of what makes Varanasi and the wider Uttar Pradesh region special: its living spiritual traditions, its riverfront heritage, and the craftsmanship that has drawn travellers here for centuries. For a meeting about cultural cooperation between nations, there are few backdrops more fitting than the ghats of the Ganga. For Banaras, hosting a gathering of this scale is more than a ceremonial honour. Each such event quietly strengthens the city's standing as a destination for cultural, spiritual and heritage tourism — the kind of recognition that, over time, brings more visitors, more interest in local crafts, and more reasons for the world to look toward Kashi.
