About Dashashwamedh Ghat

Visiting hours: Open 24 Hours (Aarti Evening)

Dashashwamedh Ghat is the most vibrant and spiritually charged ghat in Varanasi. According to mythology, Lord Brahma performed a sacred ritual here to welcome Lord Shiva. The ghat is famous worldwide for its grand Ganga Aarti ceremony held every evening, where priests perform synchronized rituals with lamps, incense, and chants, creating a mesmerizing spiritual atmosphere. Visitors from across the globe gather to witness this divine spectacle. The ghat is also a starting point for boat rides on the Ganga, especially during sunrise when the ghats of Varanasi appear magical. The lively surroundings, temples, rituals, and devotional energy make it a must-visit destination.
