Hanuman Ghat

Destination

Hanuman Ghat, earlier known as Ramesvaram Ghat, is situated at a holy spot famed as Juna Akhara in Varanasi. Legends say that this Ghat was built by Lord Ram himself and hence this Ghat is dedicated to Lord Hanuman, the most favored disciple of Lord Ram. This Ghat is an impressive attraction among the wrestlers and body builders as Lord Hanuman is a synonym of strength. A renowned Vaishnava Saint, Vallabhacharya, taught his disciples magnificent stories and the glories of Lord Krishna at this place. A temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman and another temple founded by saint poet Tulsi Das are main attractions in this Ghat.
