The International Music Center Ashram in Bangali Tola wears a coat of weathered ochre paint and a small, hand-painted sign by the wooden door. This building functions as a sanctuary for students of classical Indian music who come to study under the masters of the Varanasi tradition. Ravi Shankar once spent his early, formative years soaking in the atmosphere of this neighborhood, and the ashram carries forward that rigorous dedication to raga. A single stone balcony overlooks the narrow lane, catching the morning light.
