Bhadaini Ghat is a ghat of daily worship in southern Kashi, on the banks of Maa Ganga between Tulsi Ghat and Janaki Ghat, below the old Bhadaini neighbourhood.
A Ghat of Daily Worship
In the early morning the families of Bhadaini come down these steps for their holy dip in Maa Ganga and their prayers, as they have for generations. The ghat is part of the continuous walk along the steps from Assi to Shivala, and a quiet place to sit with Maa Ganga at dawn.
Coming to Bhadaini Ghat with Reverence
Best time: early morning, October to March.
How to reach: walk north along the steps from Tulsi Ghat for a few minutes, or come by road through the Bhadaini area.
At the ghat: this is a ghat of daily worship. Dress modestly, take your holy dip with care and away from other bathers, keep your voice low in the early hours, and ask before photographing anyone.
And in the morning or the evening, come to Shivala Ghat, where ShivBodh Trust offers the Ganga Aarti every day – our gratitude to Maa Ganga, who has only ever given.
