It's probably not or at least not straight Urdu. Sometimes they write other languages using the same script. I found the exact same sign in another place. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3153/2572315746_6201b10d63_b.jpg

The description says: "tucked away round the corner from the small post office on Bengali Tola"
I couldn't find the exact location of the post office unfortunately and the address listed is this: Postmaster, Post Office BENGALITOLA (SUB OFFICE), VARANASI, UTTAR PRADESH (UP), India (IN), Pin Code:- 221001

Great work raina! That gives us a great straight on shot of it.
Slowhatch:
There is another sign--only a partial sign--a few frames away.
Also, according to this caption, Bengali tola is an alley that runs parallel to the waterfront.
