Indica Books

An Indology bookshop and publisher that has been in the middle of Godowlia since 1994, with a second shop near Assi Ghat since 2004. Two floors are laid out along the pillars of Indian culture: scriptures, philosophy, mythology, yoga, Ayurveda, history, Sanskrit studies, in English and several other languages. If you have been meaning to buy a serious translation of the Bhagavad Gita rather than an airport paperback, or want to read properly about Shiva and Kashi before walking the lanes again, this is the address.
