Live the Palace, Don't Just Stay
To stay at Maharana Mahal is to be handed the keys to Varanasi's living soul. We do not offer sightseeing; we offer encounters. Unrepeatable, deeply Banarasi encounters that no guidebook has ever truly captured.
The Aarti
The evening aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat, witnessed from a private boat on the water, with flames reflected in the river, bells filling the sky, and the city in devotion.
Dawn Boat on the Ganga
Watch Banaras wake from the river, the most sacred, most beautiful view in the city. A private boat, a kulhad chai in hand, and the subah light turning the ghats to gold.
The Banarasi Silk Trail
Into the gullies of the weaving district with a knowledgeable guide, meeting the families who have woven Banarasi brocade for generations, watching the loom.

Two Moods. One Palace.
No reservations needed. Just arrive.
High above the ghats, with the Ganga before you and the old city glowing behind, Kinara is where Banaras comes to the table.
Set within the royal patio, overlooking the Ganga, Pravaah is a quiet pause in the rhythm of Banaras. A place to sit, slow down, and simply be.

Journey to Maharana Mahal
"The palace is reached one of two ways" by boat across the sacred Ganga, or on foot through the ancient gullies of Banaras. Both are journeys worth taking slowly.
By Boat
From Namo Ghat, a traditional wooden boat carries you across the Ganga a 25-minute crossing past ancient ghats and temples arriving at Maharana Mahal's own ghat steps, with a short climb of 40 steps to the hotel.
On Foot
From Madanpura, a short 900-metre walk through Varanasi's ancient lanes brings you to Maharana Mahal a team member by your side, luggage in hand, every step of the way.
