Falgu Ghat, Gaya
Falgu Ghat is a riverside area along the banks of the Falgu River in Gaya where religious ceremonies and daily rituals take place. The site features stone steps leading down to the water, lined with old temples and small shrines.
The Falgu River was shaped by an ancient curse that caused it to flow underground, making its water hidden most of the time. The place has been a site of pilgrimage and ritual for generations, with roots reaching back to sacred traditions.
The name Falgu comes from local legends and means the hill of ghosts. Visitors use this place to perform ancestor rituals and connect with their spiritual traditions through daily ceremonies along the river.
The best time to visit is early morning when local pilgrims perform their rituals and the area is less crowded. Wear comfortable shoes as the steps leading down to the water can be steep and sometimes slippery.
The Falgu River flows underground and is only visible during the rainy season, so visitors must dig into the sand to find the sacred water for rituals. This hidden nature of the river makes it a place filled with mystery and spiritual power.
