Scindia Ghat, Varanasi

Scindia Ghat in the morning, when devotees come down for their bath. (16 November, 2004)


Scindia Ghat is located north of Dashaswamedh Ghat immediately after Manikarnika Ghat along the Ganges River in Varanasi. This picturesque ghat has a landmark in the form of the half-submerged Shiva temple. It sunk into the Ganges 150 years ago during the construction of Scindia Ghat. Above Scindia Ghat is an area called Siddha Kshetra, meaning "the field of Fullfilment". Here, you'd find a maze of galis, as the alleyways in Varanasi are called. Many important shrines are located here. I passed through it on a hot afternoon while Ganges riverbank.
