There are more than one hundred Ghats along the bank of the Ganges present a varied scene from dawn to dusk. A Ghat is a series of well-paved steps that lead to the water. A Ghat in Benaras usually has small temples built into its side. These Ghats with their entourage of temples form the axis on which the city developed. For centuries, the Hindus considered it very auspicious to bathe at the ghats of Benaras. Every day at dawn thousands of pilgrims can be seen offering salutations to the Sun God in waist-deep water, secure in their conviction that the muddy waters of the Ganges will wash away all the accumulated sins of their life. The oil lamps and flowers set afloat on the river at dusk make a fascinating sight.

There are five important Ghats in Benaras where the pilgrims flock to take a bath as Dasawamedha Ghat, Assi Ghat, Barnasangam Ghat, Panchganga Ghat and Manikarnika Ghat. Each ghat has its own history and following. Many of the Ghats were built and owned by the royal families of India. The best time to visit the ghats is at the break of dawn, when pilgrims perform the prayer to the Sun God immersed waist deep in the waters of the holy Ganges. The best way to catch the essence of Benaras is to travel down the Ganges by boat at six o’clock in the morning. The boats can be hired by the hour from the main steps of the Dasawamedha Ghat. The steady creek of ancient oars, the slap of wet garments, incessant chatter of the bathers amid a tinkling of scattered temple bells, watching Benaras from the environs of a gently swaying boat is truly an experience worth treasuring.
