Deep Dive: Lalita Ghat

Lalita Ghat is named after the Goddess Lalita (a form of Parvati). It is most famous for the Nepali Mandir, a beautiful wooden temple built in the Kathmandu Pagoda style, which features intricate wood carvings reminiscent of the temples in Nepal.

This ghat is a symbol of the close cultural ties between India and Nepal. Pilgrims visit this ghat to seek the blessings of Goddess Lalita and to witness one of the few wooden structures surviving the humid climate of the Ganges riverfront.
