Tulsi Ghat, Hindu riverside steps in Varanasi, India
The stone steps of Tulsi Ghat extend along the eastern bank of the Ganges River, providing access to the sacred waters for rituals.
The ghat received its name from poet Tulsidas, who wrote the Ramcharitmanas manuscript while residing at this location during the 16th century.
Religious ceremonies take place at Tulsi Ghat during the Lolark Sasthi festival, when people gather to pray for male children and longevity.
Visitors can reach Tulsi Ghat through boat rides from other locations along the Ganges River or by walking through the narrow streets of Varanasi.
The wooden clogs and personal items of Tulsidas remain preserved at Tulsi Ghat, including the Hanuman idol he used for his daily prayers.
