During his recent visit to Uttar Pradesh’s Varanasi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked the beginning of an exciting project—the International Cricket Stadium.
Set to be situated in the heart of the Prime Minister’s parliamentary constituency, this cricketing arena will span over 30 acres in Ganjari, Rajatalab.
The development of this spectacular stadium comes with an estimated price tag of ₹450 crore. What sets it apart is not just its cost but its unique architectural design, inspired by the revered Lord Shiva.
The stadium’s features include crescent-shaped roof covers, floodlights in the shape of tridents, seating arrangements reminiscent of the iconic ghats, and metallic sheets on the facade shaped like Bilvipatra.
Anticipated to accommodate 30,000 spectators, the stadium’s gallery will bear a striking resemblance to the steps of the renowned Varanasi ghats. This promising sports facility is slated to be completed by December 2025, marking a significant addition to Uttar Pradesh’s cricketing infrastructure.
It will join the ranks of Kanpur and Lucknow as the state’s third international cricket stadium, promising thrilling matches and unforgettable moments for cricket enthusiasts.
