Varanasi is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 2 productions — in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on. 1 video game is also set here.

“As in the legends of Harishchandra, the King along with Taramati and Rohitashva visit Kashi.”

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Varanasi as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Named here by Varanasi’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Varanasi, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

Set here

Video games that take place here. A game is filmed nowhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood — a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.
