Scindia Ghat, Sacred riverside steps in Varanasi, India
The stone steps of Scindia Ghat extend along the Ganges River, featuring three rows of stone turrets and multiple temples within its structure.
Built in 1830 by the Scindia dynasty of the Maratha Empire, this ghat stands as a testament to the architectural heritage of Varanasi.
Hindu devotees gather at Scindia Ghat to worship Vireshwara and perform ceremonies, as the site is believed to be the birthplace of Agni.
Located 6 kilometers from Varanasi Junction, the ghat provides access points for religious ceremonies and includes vendors selling ceremonial items.
A partially submerged Shiva temple, constructed by Baija Bai over 150 years ago, continues to sink into the Ganges River.
