Kedar Ghat , Varanasi

A lesser-known name amongst the 88 riverfronts spread across the city, Kedar Ghat is frequented by hundreds of people every day who come to pray to the holy river Ganga. With steps descending to the bank of the placed river, this ghat provides a mellow spot for sitting and relaxing while looking at the distant sun.

Every visitor of this ghat stops to pay their obeisance at the petite temple settled here. Covered in stripes of red and white, this temple houses an elegant effigy of Kedareshwara. This is also the reason why this ghat is linked mythologically to Kedarnath. After taking a dip in the sacred water of Ganges, you can also enjoy a boat ride from the shore.

Distance from Varanasi: 5.8 km

Best Time to Visit: July and August
