हरिश्चंद घाट

Harishchandra Ghat, nestled by the majestic Ganges, exudes timeless allure, embodying tales of grandeur and sacrifice. As the second ghat along the revered river, its legacy runs deep. Legend tells of Harishchandra, noble king of Ayodhya and ancestor to Lord Rama, who humbly served as a funeral worker on this sacred ground. Renovated under the Peshwa's patronage in the 18th century, the ghat safeguards its sanctity. Blending tradition with progress, Harishchandra Ghat embraces the ancient practice of wood pyre cremation while also featuring an electric crematorium to combat pollution.
