Fine Dining

Royal hospitality and the flavours of Banaras, served beside the Ganges as the ghats light up for Dev Deepawali.

An Akashganga evening is as much a feast as a festival. Guests are hosted to a curated fine-dining experience that celebrates the culinary heritage of Banaras — seasonal produce, time-honoured recipes and regional specialities, presented with the care of a royal household and the backdrop of the river.

The Akashganga fine-dining table setting — The table, set for the evening — Akashganga menus, candlelight and blue-and-gold linens.

Where You'll Dine

Dining is laid out beside the Ganges — candlelit tables dressed in blue and gold, the illuminated ghats stretching across the water, and the walls of Ramnagar Fort rising behind. It is dinner with the whole of Kashi as your view, as the lamps of Dev Deepawali come alive on the river.
