तुलसी घाट

Tulsi Ghat in Varanasi holds great reverence as it commemorates poet-saint Tulsidas, who resided there while composing the Ramcharitmanas, a vernacular translation of the epic Ramayana. Constructed by Tulsidas in the 16th century, the ghat also houses a monastery, Hanuman Temple, and Akhara. Notably, Ramlila, a grand celebration of Lord Ram, takes place at Tulsi Ghat during the Ashwin month. The performances enchant the audience, with the ghat serving as a stage. This convergence of Tulsidas' literary legacy, spiritual ambiance, and captivating Ramlila exemplifies Varanasi's rich cultural tapestry and timeless traditions.
