Welcome to the official website of Subah-e-Banaras. Launched in 2014 at Asi Ghat, Varanasi, this daily gathering before sunrise reflects the timeless spirit of India. The morning comes alive with Vedic chants, classical music, yoga and rituals that honor nature and bring peace within. Guided by the mantra Mitrō Agniḥ (friendship and goodwill), Subah-e-Banaras is more than a program; it is a collective celebration of spirituality, culture, yoga and knowledge for harmony and well-being.
