Lalita Ghat
Lalita Ghat (ललिता घाट) is one of the 84 sacred ghats lining the western bank of the Ganga in Varanasi. Home to the Nepali Kathwala Temple — Kathmandu on the banks of the Ganga. This ghat contributes to the extraordinary panorama that has made Varanasi's riverfront a UNESCO World Heritage candidate. Each ghat tells its own story — of royal patronage, spiritual significance, or daily life in the world's oldest living city. Visit as part of a morning boat ride or an evening walk along the riverfront to experience its unique character.
Significance

Lalita Ghat is part of the six-kilometre crescent of stepped riverfront that constitutes the sacred geography of Kashi. Pilgrims, tourists, and locals share these ancient stones, creating a living tableau that has captivated visitors for millennia. The ghat system of Varanasi is unparalleled anywhere in the world. 🪔
