Deep Dive: Ahilyabai Ghat
Ahilyabai Ghat is a testament to the architectural and spiritual revival of Varanasi led by Queen Ahilyabai Holkar. It was the first ghat to be named after a person and stands out for its serene atmosphere and well-maintained steps.
The ghat is adjacent to the Munshi Ghat and is known for its quietening presence, making it a preferred spot for early morning meditation and rituals. The queen also commissioned the rebuilding of the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, solidifying her legacy in the citys history.
