Ganga Mahal Ghat
Ganga Mahal Ghat is one of the main ghats on the Ganges River in Varanasi. Constructed in 1830 CE by the Narayan dynastyGanga Mahal Ghat is situated on the bank of the Ganges. It is 6 kilometers southeast of Varanasi Junction railway station and 100 meters north of Assi Ghat. The Narayan dynasty, in 1830, constructed a palace by the river Ganga in Varanasi. The palace was called "Ganga Mahal" (Mahal means palace in Hindi). Since the Mahal (palace) was housed on the ghat, the ghat was named "Ganga Mahal Ghat". Stone steps between Assi Ghat and Ganga Mahal Ghat separate the two ghats. This palace houses the design studio of Hemang Agrawal whereas the upper floors are used by the "Indo-Swedish Study Centre" organized by Karlstad University.
