Subah-e-Banaras | Magical Sunrise of Varanasi | Ethereal

Subah-e-Banaras is a term commonly used for mornings in Varanasi. For me, a tour of Varanasi means a feeling of being elated to see the ghats, which are always full of activity. Right from something like sunrise which can be a substitute for a good beginning to death which is supposed to be the end of it all, the ghats summarise an entire lifetime in front of your eyes. I have tried to explore ‘the sunrise’ in this film and shall leave death for later. Super stoked for this incoming video upload.

Pramod Mishra is one of the few people behind Subah Banaras which is organised every morning, for about 2 years straight now on the Assi Ghat. He has been in Varanasi since birth and seen how this ancient city welcomes people not only from India but outside as well. Baba Shiva Das came to Varanasi from Italy more than fourty years ago and fell in love with it. He spent many years with his guru and other sadhus who taught him many things. The story of all these years spent on the ghats of Ganga seems to be written on his face.

A very special thanks to Dr Ratnesh Verma who is the Head of Cultural Department, and the founder of Subah-e-Banaras, for being phenomenal in helping me out with this project.

RIP Baba Shiva Das - you are free of Samsara, now dancing with Lord Shiva 🙏 Your inspiration lives on.

From 6.56... the saint wearing rudraksha, patting the bull, the hand garland, him smoking up & sharing a light with apparent Aghori... and then saying 'I feel I'm a part of everything' - what else can be so realistically bad-ass. This is the highest state of completeness.


Beautifully narrated, and let's not even talk about the number of goosebumps the editor must have got while editing this video.

I m from Banaras n i want to make it very clear that people who come here to see the technology, development, n other hifi stuffs, this place is not for u...Varanasi is known for divinity, spirituality, n lot more which can never be explained bt just can be felt when u reach Varanasi...its the oldest living city in the world n so it is not easy to understand Varanasi in just few hours...u have to live every single moment here...
I m proud that i belong to such a beautiful city..😍😍

[paiaullasantosh]

Just returned from Varanasi. I'll tell u guys it's a real miracle..city is dirty.. traffic is a havoc..but Varanasi has left a indelible impression on my mind..its percieved only by mind..not by ur senses..(the dirt and traffic).it'srituality at it's peak..it's like life flowing in ganga..it's like the both the birth and end of life..it's like I missed a part of my life was missing before I visited Varanasi.
im left with only one thing in my mind now..HAR HAR HAR MAHADEV..

[saumyasagar]

I spent 3 years in is beyond more than a spiritual place#Divine#etiquette within charm is something which u cannot explore fully because it is never going to satisfy you .You will want to have more of Missing Banaras

When he said about pratyaksha devata, I got goosebumps.

[KENNETHFRANCISRODRIGUES]

That close up of Baba Shiva Das eyes is truly ethereal. I am sure many of us would love to have that image of our walls and look at it every now and then. Perfect peace, perfect detachment, and as you mentioned in your other video he has no message and no desire for recognition. What more can one say. OM NAMAH SHIVAY!

[fredahwiwu]

I fell in love with Varanasi on film...tears just will not stop flowing... seeing this crying....hopefully i come to India one day I am absolutely in love with it

[kushagrasaurabh]

If you ever visit Varanasi you will not only taste the life but actually feel the essence of life.

[ezazahmed]

So soothing to watch..I always loved the serenity of Kashi. It's odd to say but i would love to die in Nirvanas built there, to die in peace 🙂
No controversy please..🙏

Om Shanti !! Baba Shiva Das was a pure Soul.

I don't see people I see Soul's

Dude, my parents will be visiting Banaras next week and I showed them this video. The watched this on my little phone screen, mesmerized and awe inspired. They love your work and so do I. Keep it up.

[sahasransusbarik]

Specially that line "I feel like i am the part of everything, i am the sun, i am the air, i am the water".

Thats the difference between Spiritual Life and Material Life

[jaimelenoir]

I loved your video. i'm travelling to India and of course in Varanasi in the end of August so i'm happy i came across your beautiful work. Thank you very much.

[ArpitGangwal]

Indian mornings are nothing short of magic. This video captures that magic so beautifully that at times I felt I was really there. You are doing an incredible job Ayush, we have seen you working on visuals but this unique story-telling was a complete surprise. Great job!
