Lalita Ghat, Ancient Hindu ghat in Varanasi, India
Lalita Ghat rises from the Ganges River with stone steps leading to a red building and the wooden Nepali temple at its summit.
The King of Nepal, Rana Bahadur Shah, initiated the construction of Lalita Ghat during his exile in Varanasi between 1800 and 1804.
The ghat houses two important temples, the Nepali Mandir and Lalita Gauri Mandir, where devotees perform rituals dedicated to Goddess Lalita.
Visitors can access the Puja guesthouse via a staircase from the ghat, which stands 3.8 kilometers southeast of Varanasi Junction railway station.
The Nepali Temple at Lalita Ghat contains wooden figures and detailed carvings constructed with termite-resistant wood, preserving its structure through centuries.
