Indica Books opened its first bookshop to the public on Diwali, 3rd November 1994, at the center of Varanasi in Godowlia. Through the years the company established itself as one of the best booksellers and publishers in the field of Indology. In 2021, Indica Books had to leave its premises in Godowlia and shifted to a new and improved two-floor showroom at B2/218 Bhadaini (near Tulsi and Assi Ghats), Varanasi.

The bookshop contains sections on the main aspects of Indian culture: Scriptures, Philosophy, Mythology, History, Yoga, Tantra, Hinduism, Buddhism and other religions, Music and Art, Ayurveda, Astrology, Sanskrit etc. There is also a general section which deals with Indian and foreign literature, Travel books, Languages and other topics of common interest.

Indica Books tries to publish good quality books on several aspects of the classical culture of India (such as scriptures, saints and sages, philosophy, music and other arts, as well as about the holy city of Banaras) in a modern format and accessible prices.

You can find our publications on various topics of Indology and Banaras-Varanasi in the Our Publications section or by downloading a PDF of our catalogue (link).
