Music has the power to transcend language, cultural, and geographical barriers, and this viral video from the ghats of Varanasi is the perfect example of it.

In the video, the musician named Yadnesh Raikar can be seen playing the violin, seated near the Ganga ghat. The video was posted on Instagram with a caption that read, “Banaras jaake yeh nahi bajaya toh kya kiya!” (What is the purpose of visiting Banaras if you don’t play this?)”
What makes this version all the more special is that it beautifully captures the feel of Varanasi, where the movie Raanjanaa was set in.
The video quickly went viral, garnering thousands of views and shares, with people appreciating the musician’s talent and the beauty of the moment.
Reacting to the clip, one person wrote, “The way you played the word “meri” I could listen to it a thousand times.” Another user wrote, “A big big big fan of you and your melodies! You bring peace and happiness to my ears. Blessed to hear you.”
Another reply read, “I thought I got a call from heaven, I can’t stop sobbing, this is so good and so perfect! I ain’t even scrolling down, don’t call me a stalker, call me a fan, please!”
