At the Taj Ganges, Varanasi, Bobby Mukherrji Architects brings the essence of India’s spiritual capital into a layered, contemporary hospitality experience. Infused with the city’s sacred heritage and cultural vibrancy, the design blends symbolism, craftsmanship, and modern luxury to create spaces that feel both timeless and relevant.
The palette draws from Varanasi’s ghats, temples, and festivals — marigold yellows, auspicious reds, serene blues, and golden ochres — interpreted through bespoke artworks, sculptural accents, stained glass, and handcrafted finishes. Motifs such as the temple shikhar, bilva patta, ceremonial bells, and the glow of the Ganga aarti are reimagined as tactile and visual statements, enriching the spatial narrative.
From colonial-inspired guest rooms to airy dining spaces and a bar with old-world charm, every setting reflects the city’s layered soul. The result is a hospitality experience that honours Varanasi’s traditions while embodying the elegance and service synonymous with the Taj.
