Varanasi

Banaras readers. A modern stand for an old book city.

Varanasi has deep literary and academic markets — university, Sanskrit/Hindi lists, and tourist demand for English titles — still fragmented across shops and chat.

BookStand is free bookstore software: list digital, new, used; take Stripe; offer ghat-area pickup if you want.
