CAUSATTHI GHAT

This is one of the most famous Ghats in Varanasi that attracts a huge number of devotees every year due to its religious significance. It has been named after Chausath Yogini Temple, which enshrines the statues of sixty-four ‘yoginis’ who are known to be the lady assistants of Kali. The ghat is known to be invaded by Madhusudana Saraswati, who was a great Sanskrit scholar.

The king of Udaipur renovated this Ghat in 1670 in order to enhance the beauty and overall appeal of this ghat.  In the month of Chaitra, a huge number of devotees visit this ghat and take a dip in the holy river of Ganga and offer a symbolic offering to their ancestors.
