Family house · Varanasi
A Banarasi silk house whose story begins in the 1870s in Lahore, where Ushnak Mal sold zari and brocade silks and later opened a shop in Anarkali Bazaar with his son Mool Chand. Now run by Rajeev Tandon, it keeps the gaddi style of selling and is known for katan silks and running brocade fabric. Its exact lane could not be confirmed, so check a map listing first.
