'Firstly built by the Maratha Chief, Ghajirao Balaji, this river-front is widely made of lofty stone slabs by cobblestoning technique(most apparently).'
Formerly known as Amrut Rao Ghat, this was firstly made by the first Maratha chief Gajirao Balaji in 1720. This was rebuilt with stone slabs by Amrut Rao Pesachva during 1780-1807. At the top of lofty stone steps he established four temples of Amritesvara, Vinayakesvara, Nayanesvara and Gangesvara and four auxiliary shrines, and also renovated the Prabhasa Tritha in 1780.
