NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim, and found it to be FALSE.  

Doing a Reverse Image Search of keyframes extracted from the InVid Tool, we found a Facebook page that carried the same viral video on December 4, 2022, with a caption: “The house where Maha Kavi Bharatiyar lived while raising Tamil in Kashi”.

The same vial video has been uploaded on the official Instagram page of Nirmala Sitharaman with a caption: “Visited Siva Madam in Varanasi yesterday and interacted with the family members of Mahakavi Bharathiyar, including his 96-year-old great nephew Shri K. V. Krishnan.”
