Varanasi’s New Cricket Stadium Set to Have a Lord Shiva Theme

Varanasi's new cricket stadium embraces Lord Shiva theme.

When it comes to both population and cricket, Uttar Pradesh takes the lead in India. The state is home to two well-established cricket arenas – the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow and the iconic Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. Additionally, Varanasi is set to welcome a brand-new cricket stadium.

The Varanasi stadium under construction is breaking the mold with its distinct design. According to a Jagran News report, its design is a tribute to Lord Shiva, with a dome-shaped like a Trishul (trident), floodlights resembling a Damru (drum), an entrance gate crafted like Belpatra (Bael leaves), and seating arrangements that emulate the steps of the Ganga Ghat.
