List of films shot in Varanasi
The temple town Varanasi is a major hub for several film industries.[1] Several film producers from South India and North India add the scenic beauty of ghats of Varanasi.[2] Being well connected to the major cities across India makes it approachable.[3] A small number of Bhojpuri movies are shot too.[4]
