These are the bathing ghats constructed on the banks during the period between 1984-1985. There were enormous bathing ghats through out the banks of the holy river Sarayu and the ones at Nayaghat were immersed in the torrential rains and currents of the river water. Then the then chief minister and the Irrigation Minister of UP ordered to raise a Paidi here for the convenience of the enormous pilgrims who come over there to have a holy dip. Water in the Paidi is being taken from Sarayu by Motor Pumps.
The long plight of steps that goes in parallel lines to the river water serves as a good ground for the devotees to have their bathing and allied activities. Flood Works Division of the Irrigation Department, UP Government, is managing the repairing works of Paidi.
Minor adjustments in the flow of a river change the course of many civilizations and even a minor whimsical change in water level render important monuments awash. Ram ki Pairi has a similar story to tell wherein the original water tank used by the pilgrims for taking bath was engulfed by the raging waters of River Sharayu.
However, on popular demand the Ram ki Pairi was reconstructed at the Naya Ghat. The newly constructed Ram ki Pairi gets the water from River Sarayu, however the same has to be regularly pumped into the Pairi for the benefit of the visitors.
