Assi Ghat
Welcome to one of the most sacred places for Hinduism, Assi Ghat is the southernmost Ghat in Varanasi, situated at the assemblage of Ganges and Assi rivers. This ghat is a sacred place as pilgrims offer prayers to a huge Shiva lingam placed under a peepal tree after bathing in the river.
Legend also states that the famous Indian poet-saint, Tulsi Das had written the popular epic the Ramcharitmanas on the banks of Assi Ghat.
It is believed that Goddess Durga, after killing the asuras, Shumbha-Nishumbha, had thrown her sword at a place, which resulted in the origin of a huge stream, known as Assi River.
These Ghats are also famous for Aghori baba's who have in-depth knowledge of Tantrik information. This walk will give a light study of the Tantra for guests who want to have a deeper look at the Tantrik worship.
