Bundi Parkota Ghat, Varanasi

Laundry being left to dry at Bundi Parkota Ghat on the Ganges. (16 November, 2004)


The Bundi Parkota Ghat is located on the north side of Dashaswamedh Ghat, a short distance after Scindia Ghat along the Ganges in Varanasi. The dhoby operating here left their washing to dry on the open ground. This is one of several ghats along the Ganges where laundry is being washed and dried. According to what I read, Bundi Parkota Ghat used to be called the Raja Mandira Ghat. It was created by Raja Surajana Hada, the King of Bundi, in 1580AD. Above this ghat are the shrines of Sesa Madhava, Karnadity and Laksmi Nrsimha.

I explored the Bundi Parkota Ghat on a hot afternoon in November. There were not many people here. Most foreign tourists are concentrated around Dashaswamedh Ghat, so this is slightly off the beaten bath.

Carpets left to dry - not sure whether this ghat is also Bundi Parkota or a different name; every small section seems to have its own name. (16 November, 2004)

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
