A viral video of the under-construction Varanasi International Cricket Stadium has captivated social media users, showcasing its unique Lord Shiva-themed architecture. The footage captured by onlookers traveling on nearby roads highlights the newly installed trishul-shaped floodlights, which stand as a towering tribute to the city’s spiritual heritage. The project, located in Ganjari, is reportedly 75 percent complete and is on track for a scheduled April 2026 opening. The stadium's design integrates several symbolic elements: the main pavilion resembles a damru (drum), the roof is shaped like a crescent moon, and the seating arrangements mimic the iconic Ganga ghats.
