St. Mary's Church, Benares 1910

In one brief scene in Benares 1910 ("Journey of Radiance"), Krishnamurti (Hemanth Rao) and Indy pay a visit to a church in Benares.

This was filmed in the historic 200-year-old St. Mary's Anglican Church (called the Church of England locally) in Benares, which has sat vacant for over a decade. Recently, there have been plans to restore the building to its former glory and save it from further deterioration. This is significant, as the real Annie Besant (played in this episode by Dorothy Tutin) actually visited the church before becoming an athiest.
