The evenings are so memorable at the Ghats that the young gurus telling the stories from puranas to the people. Most of the visitors dipping in to the Ganges to clean there wrong doings in there life so far. Small tea shops run by locals gives a unique flavor of the tea with classical music they play on the record player takes you to the another unforgettable moment.
There is chain of Ghats on the bank of the river which has different mythological back ground. If you walk by, you get to hear different sounds of musical instruments as well as voice from the old temples on the Ghat.The pure notes of the raga played on Sitar. It will stop you there and look around from where the sound is coming, and naturally you will walk to the Sitar maestro. This is beauty of the city that you get every thing so easy of your choise.Speacilly which people have love for music for them it is perfect place to enjoy every bit of it.

If you visit that area every house has great Maestro. The young guys working hard and sweating as much as can to get control on the art. Such a great environmental background score of notes which pushes the young generation of music field to become tomorrow’s great musician. The air it self breaths the delicacy of the sound of music.

They have opportunity to perform in various music festivals around the city. That is how they get to expose there art and some confidence of performing arts. Most of all the audience is so great that they could enjoy the musical nights on the bank of Ganges till the sun rise.

Therefore, influence is so wonderful to get mastery and to become a maestro of music like the great musicians of Bananas to name a few Pt.Rajan Sajan Mishra, Pt.Kishan Maharaj, Ustad Bismilha Khan and more.
