Varanasi: After more than 33 years of black game before inauguration by Prime Minister Narendra Modi In July 2022, Dashashwamedh Bhavan (complex) is all set to cater traditional Indian cuisine, especially Banarasi and South Indian cuisine, from the counters of its food court and rooftop restaurant.
Food court and rooftop restaurant near Ganga view point of Dashashwamedh Bhawan is almost ready Sun Pandey of the group that operated a food court and cafeteria near Ganga Dwar of Kashi Vishwanath Dham before starting this new venture. He said that both the food court and the restaurant would be operational before the start of the auspicious Shravan month starting from July 4.
The second food court after KV Dham’s Amrit Bhawan refreshment room, which will operate near the Ganga bank, will serve Banarasi and South Indian cuisine, Pandey said, adding that along with dishes from different states, other rich dishes from North India would also be available. He said that apart from Banarasi Chaat and Banarasi Mithai, they would also operate their own bakery to cater to fresh bakery items.
Since the holy month of Shravan is about to begin and a large number of pilgrims prefer to observe a fast during the pilgrimage, fruit platters and items will also be available for the visitors, he said.
On July 7, 2022, Prime Minister Modi inaugurated the Dashashwamedh Bhawan, a modern complex worth Rs 29 crore. This property at one of the most visited mythological sites of Kashi in Dashashwamedh area remained neglected for 33 years and proved to be a worthless asset of Varanasi Development Authority (VDA).
As a joint venture of VDA and Varanasi smart city Ltd. (VSCL), Newly Constructed Campus, Dashashwamedh Bhawan, a beautiful emblem with 10 running horses’ heads, located on the wall of the main entrance of the campus, depicts the mythological importance of the place where, according to legend, Lord Brahma made his birth here. 10 horses were sacrificed during Gaya Dasha-Ashwamedha Yagya.
Hampered by litigation after the start of its construction in 1986, the long-awaited project of building a complex with all the facilities required for pilgrims at major pilgrimage sites, came to an end in 2017 after Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath came to power in the state. Seen in the light. Be sure to remove all obstacles. After this the PM laid its foundation in 2019-20.
On a plot of 3082.04 square meters area, a building has been constructed in an area of 993 square meters including lower ground floor, upper ground floor and first floor. Apart from 186 shops, about 100 toilets, bathrooms, changing rooms, food court and roof top restaurant were ensured in this complex, where space Arrangements have also been made for one post of NDRF.
VDA’s office in-charge (property) Rajeev Kumar Jaiswal told TOI that allotment of 87 shops has been completed. He said that the remaining 99 shops would be allotted through auction.
The complex has three escalators and one lift. The Ganga View Point on the top floor of the complex will be a major attraction. Funding of Rs 28.69 crore for the project was done by VSCL and a joint special purpose vehicle (SPV) of VDA and VSCL was formed to bring the complex alive.
