IndicaBooks

Indica Books is a premier bookstore and publishing house located in Varanasi, India, specializing in Indology and the rich tapestry of Indian culture. Established in 1994, it has become renowned for its extensive collection of books on Indian philosophy, mythology, history, yoga, and various religions, including Hinduism and Buddhism. The shop also features a general literature section that covers both Indian and foreign works, travel literature, and language studies.

Originally founded by Dilip Kumar Jaiswal and Alvaro Enterria, Indica Books is now operated by Alvaro and his son, Arun Enterria, after a significant transition in leadership following Jaiswal's passing in 2018. In 2021, they relocated to a larger and improved space on Bhadaini Road, offering a more comprehensive shopping experience for their customers.

Visitors are encouraged to explore their meticulously curated catalogue, which includes original publications on Indology and Varanasi, showcasing the depth of knowledge and passion that defines Indica Books. The shop invites all to connect with India’s literary heritage in a welcoming environment.
