Rangoli Garden Restaurant

We have been here at Sa 14/97 on Pandeypur Road for a long time now. Most people around here know us because we are quite close to the Akashwani Sarnath station. Living and working in Sarnath means things move a bit slower than the main Varanasi city, which is nice for us. Our garden area at Rangoli Garden Restaurant gets a lot of sun in the mornings. We usually start the day by sweeping up the leaves that fall overnight from the big trees nearby. The road outside can get pretty dusty when the buses go by toward the stupa area. It is just a regular place where people from the neighborhood stop by to sit. We don't have any fancy decorations or anything like that. Just some tables and chairs and the plants we try to keep alive in the summer heat. Sometimes the power goes out and we just sit outside for a bit until it comes back. Our staff mostly lives nearby so they walk or bike to work every morning. You can see the radio tower from our entrance. It is a good landmark for people who are lost trying to find our gate. We spend most of our time just making sure everything is ready for the afternoon. It gets busy around two o'clock when the office folks come out. By evening, it finally cools down. We stay open until the traffic on Pandeypur Road thins out. It is not a complicated life here.
