Janaki Ghat
Janaki Ghat is a popular ghat (a series of steps leading down to a body of water) located on the banks of the Ganges River in Varanasi, India. It is named after Goddess Sita, also known as Janaki, the wife of Lord Rama from the epic Ramayana.
Janaki Ghat is considered a holy place by Hindus and is frequented by pilgrims who come to take a dip in the Ganges to cleanse their sins and perform rituals. The ghat is also known for its beautiful temples, including the Janaki Temple and the Nepali Temple.
The Janaki Temple, built in the 19th century, is dedicated to Goddess Sita and is a popular place of worship for locals and tourists alike. The Nepali Temple, on the other hand, is a unique temple with a distinct Nepalese architectural style, as it was built by the Nepalese King, Sanjay Vikram Shah, in the 19th century.
Janaki Ghat is also a popular spot for boat rides and evening aartis (devotional ceremonies) performed on the banks of the river. The ghat is easily accessible by road and is located near the famous Tulsi Ghat and Assi Ghat in Varanasi.
