तेलियानाला घाट

Telianala Ghat

🛕 Telianala Ghat (तेलियानाला घाट) is one of the 84 sacred ghats lining the western bank of the Ganga in Varanasi. Named after the oil-pressers' creek — where trade met the sacred river. 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

🌊 Every ghat in Varanasi carries layers of meaning — spiritual, historical, and social. Telianala 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.
