Hanuman Ghat
Devotional Significance:Named after the small Hanuman Temple located adjacent to the steps, Hanuman Ghat is a modest but deeply culturally and spiritually significant ghat on the banks of the Ganga river in the Barari locality. It serves as a local hub for daily rituals, including sacred bathing, th e offering of prayers, and the performance of Hindu ceremonies like Shraddha. The presence of the shrine dedicated to Lord Hanuman makes it a revered spot, often seen as a guardian deity of this section of the riverbank. It is known for its relatively calm and peaceful atmosphere compared to the main city ghats.
