About Manikarnika Ghat

Manikarnika Ghat in Varanasi is one of the oldest and holiest places by the Ganges River. It is very special in Hinduism because it is believed that when someone is cremated here, their soul gets free from the cycle of birth and death. This is called moksha. The ghat has a deep connection to Lord Shiva and many old legends. It’s said that the fire used for cremation has been burning nonstop for centuries. Manikarnika Ghat is not just about rituals; it’s a place that reflects the cycle of life and death, making it a deeply spiritual spot in Varanasi.
