Introduction

Documented as the oldest living city not only in India but also in the world by the English author Mark Twain, Varanasi, also known as Benares and Kashi is the most sacred place for all the followers of Hinduism. It is a mythological belief that those who die in Varanasi, or those whose final rites are done here, attain salvation (moksha / nirvana) as they are freed from the cycle of birth and re-birth. Also, anyone who takes a dip in the River Ganga in Varanasi is forgiven from all the sins made by that person in his lifetime. Though not a huge town, it is always advisable to book a car rental in Varanasi with Chiku Cab for a hassle free and comfortable journey.

Top 3 Ghats to Visit in Varanasi

Dasaswamedh Ghat


 

At any given point in the day, the Dasaswamedh Ghat can be seen in full vibrancy with various merchants selling utilities for poojas and holy men performing various rites with their face painted in the holy ashes. One can also take a boat ride from this Ghat to roam River Ganges and see its different shades throughout different ghats in Varanasi. One more thing the Dasaswamedh Ghat is famous for is the evening ritual aarti performed here at around 7 o’clock. Saffron colored clothed priests perform this pious offering to the Holy Ganges here which is initiated the blowing of the conch shell. This 45-minute affair is witnessed by thousands of devotees on an everyday basis.

Assi Ghat


 

Assi Ghat tops the list of the most frequently visited Ghat in the Southern part of Varanasi. The Assi Ghat is famous for the naturally bloomed Shiv – Lingam under the auspicious fig tree. A number of devotees make it a daily routine to pray to this lingam after bathing in the Ganges for the whole duration of their stay in Varanasi.

Manikarnika Ghat


 

According to Hinduism if your final rites of burning the pyre are performed at the Manikarnika Ghat, you are sure to achieve Moksha. Because of this reason you will observe pyres being burnt here round the clock. It is believed that on an average the final rites of a minimum of 100 dead bodies are performed here on an everyday basis. While on the Manikarnika Ghat, be respectful towards the sentiments of the others and do not far-stretch your limits.
