Janki Ghat

Janki Ghat

'This one is believed to be Lord Rama's wedded wife, Mother Sita's favourite.'

 

This ghat was a natural open-ground with the abode of Hayagriva Keshva shrine, houses 4 temples of Lord Shiva. Dedicated to Mother 'Janki'(Sita), wife of Lord Rama, this river front was founded by Queen Rani Kunvar of Sursand. Earlier, it used to be famous as the Nagamber ghat. It has very little religious/theological significance but devotees take a dip as it's mostly much cleaner than other ghats, even more safe.
