Deep Dive: Mir Ghat

Mir Ghat is a quiet but spiritually significant ghat. It leads to the Vishalakshi Temple, which is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas of India, dedicated to the eye of Goddess Sati.

The ghat also houses the Dharmeshwar temple and is known for its narrow, winding lanes that lead into the heart of the old city. It offers a more authentic, less commercialized view of the citys daily religious life.
