Jain Ghat

Jain Ghat

'Amalgamation of Jains and Mallahas (aboriginal Benarasi boatsmen) habitats.'

 

Before 1931 Jain ghat was the part of Vaccharaja ghat. Later Jain community made a pucca ghat and named it as Jain ghat. On the southern end Jain communities take bath and perform their regular activities, but on the northern end Mallaha (boatman) families are giving it a different look.
