Lalitha Ghat, Varansi Uttar Pradesh India.
Without internet and smartphones, getting information was not as easy as it is today. I always loved traveling to new places. I love to share my experiences on Google Maps. Because Google Maps is my best companion wherever I travel, I have information about places to see, information about places to stay, information to eat, information about resources available and much more to help me. This inspires me to convey my experiences to people through review pictures and videos. Varansi is a historical City and the River holy Ganga is treated divinely by everyone. It has numerous Ghats built on the bank of holy Ganga and each Ghat is sacred. One such Ghat is Lalitha or Lalita Ghat, quite popular among the devotees, pilgrims and tourists.
Lalitha Ghat is situated between the Mirghat and Jalashai Ghat on the sacred banks of the Holy Ganga and the temple of Lalitha Devi is located on the street above the ghat, so the name of this ghat became Lalitha Ghat. Infact this Ghat was developed by the Nepali King Shah during his exile in the early nineteenth century. He built the Lalitha Devi temple which is an incarnation of Goddess Parvati in Nagara style architecture. Devotees are having great faith in this temple as after worshipping in this temple they attain wealth and prosperity. Till the twentieth century AD, this ghat was divided in three parts as Nepali Ghat, Lalitha Ghat and Rajarajeshwari Ghat respectively. Later the independent existence of Nepali Ghat and Rajarajeshwari Ghats ended.
Siddhigiri Mutt, Umraoagiri Mutt, Moksha Bhavan and the Nepali Kothi or Nepali Temple almost a wooden structure, built by the King of Nepal are the main buildings located on this ghat and the major temples are Lalitha Devi and Rajarajeshwari temple which is built in Pagoda style. The Nepali temple built on this Ghat by Nepal Naresh in Kashi is a symbol of Pashupatinath temple situated in Kathmandu Nepal.
I am sure everyone will love to visit this very special Ghat.
