Explore Tulsi Ghat and Its Ancient Akhara Culture

While tourists crowd Dashashwamedh and Assi, Tulsi Ghat sits quietly to the south with centuries-old wrestling akharas still active. Visit in the afternoon to watch wrestlers train in red-earth pits. The ghat is also home to a beautiful but crumbling Nepali-style temple. Few tourists come here — it is old Banaras at its most authentic.
