Everything about Varanasi Cricket Stadium
The construction of the Varanasi cricket stadium comes with an estimated price tag of around Rs 450 crore.
This remarkable architectural endeavor draws its inspiration from Lord Shiva, featuring designs that incorporate crescent-shaped roof covers, floodlights resembling tridents, seating arrangements reminiscent of the steps of the ghats, and metallic sheets on the facade designed in the shape of Bilvipatra.
The International Cricket Stadium in Varanasi is designed to accommodate a crowd of 30,000 spectators, and its gallery will bear a striking resemblance to the iconic steps of the ghats in Varanasi.
