Manikarnika Ghat

Manikarnika Ghat in Varanasi is one of the oldest and most sacred ghats along the River Ganges. It is primarily known as a cremation site where Hindu funeral rites are performed continuously, as many believe that being cremated here grants liberation from the cycle of rebirth, a concept tied to moksha. The ghat carries deep spiritual significance and is closely associated with Lord Shiva, making it a powerful symbol of life, death, and transcendence in Hindu culture.
