Kriti Gallery - Art gallery in Varanasi - Varanasi, India

The residency at Kriti became my second home. In a city bustling with people and vehicles, the residency certainly is a wonderful respite amidst all the greens and the space that it provides. It was wonderful to be a part of the creative people that were staying there at that time. Both Navneet and Petra are the most gracious hosts and go out of their way to make you feel at home. I will always cherish all the wonderful times that I spent there. It definitely gives you much more than expected. And to be amongst creative people in such a beautiful space definitely leaves you inspired. I cannot wait for an opportunity to go back there again.

A great platform for learning and exchange of art. I have lived in Varanasi for more than 20 years from late 60`s to late 80`s and have watched and attended many art exhibitions. But after visiting this `Kriti`s setup I found it amazing. A world class setup for preserving Art and an Art Gallery keeping all the art lover alive and engaged through versatile true art exhibitions of world class which was not possible for the locals , Indians and foreign visitors to see the work of world class artists. The setup to stay there and work in such a beautiful green and natural environment really keeps you like living in a crowded city still away from the noise and having the best surroundings to keep your art excelling.

It was closed and was not mentioned on Google maps that it's not open for some time. Kindly update on Google maps so that it doesn't causes inconvenience for others visiting this place. As it cost in loosing out time for visiting places on tight schedule.

I had an amazing experience at the Kriti Residency, Varanasi. I spent a month for an Artist-In-Residence Programme there, and was welcomed and helped in the process of creation of my photography project. Navneet Raman & Petra Manefeld, the Raman family and all the staff were exquisitely kind and helpful. The studios are clean and big, fully equipped and comfortable. The "knowledge of the city" of all the staff was precious for me in order to get contacts inside the city. The Gallery itself is a great and quiet space in busy city, probably the best Art Gallery in Varanasi. Plus, the food is amazing!

The gallery was so beautiful and it atracted me even more beacause the owner was very interesting and well behaved person his politeness and sense of humor can attract anybody this is a good place for antique statue lovers.

If you are in Varanasi and you want a bit of piece and quiet, this is a beautiful place to get some. Amazing art work and people. Worth a visit!

A really nice place and the curator is authentic in whatever he presents and is well acknowledged of the artworks.

Well-known for its lush green environment and Beautiful Art Gallery. Many foreigners pay a visit and buy many things from here.
