How much does the average Varanasi household make in a year?
Surprisingly, the average household income in the city of Varanasi is almost 175,000 rupees. As one moves outside the city it drops dramatically. The families we were dealing with were bringing home 200 to 400 rupees a day. Their outlay for Kerosene could go as high as 200 rupees a week.
