Hotel Ganges View
Asi Ghat, where the hotel is located, houses the Asi-Sangameshwara, a significant Shaiva shrine in which Asi Madhava is the main vaishnavite deity. It is believed that the original shrine of Asi Madhava had gradually eroded over the centuries. In 1870, Dulhin Radha Dulari Kuwari – a princess of the Sursand State of Bihar, widow of Srimant Damodar Dev Narayan Singh of Chainpur State in Bihar – settled down at Asi and became involved in philanthropic activities. Local pundits of that time suggested her to reconstruct the Asi Madhava shrine and build the ghat overlooking Ganga (the Ganges). The land to build the temple and the ghat was bought from Kashiraj Prabhu Narayan Singh in 1903. The temple was constructed over the years in Panchayatana style; the key shrine being dedicated to Vishnu and Laxmi. After Dulhinji’s death in 1927, her son-in-law, Kumar Kailash Kinkar Narayan Singh and her grandson, Kumar Keshav Kinkar Narayan Singh immigrated in Varanasi. Married into some of the most prominent families of the city, including the Jagatganj branch of the Kashiraj family, they were known for their great love for music, art and literature. The present generation of the family having converted the family home into the hotel in 1990, have continued their inherited tradition of patronage of the arts.
From 1999 onwards, a lecture series was started by the hotel to re-interpret the culture of Varanasi. Titled ‘Aspects of Banaras’, numerous lectures have been delivered under its aegis on subjects such as music, painting, performing arts, textiles, sacred geography, religion and spirituality. Workshops and artists camps are also frequently arranged in the hotel to promote local talents. Apart from these ongoing events, there is a permanent display of artefacts in the hotel premises, open to visitors and guests of the hotel.
