Deep Dive: Munshi Ghat
Munshi Ghat, named after Sridhara Narayana Munshi, is often associated with the adjacent Darbhanga Ghat. Together, they form one of the most visually stunning sections of the Varanasi riverfront.
The towering sandstone palace that defines this ghat was built by the royal family of Darbhanga (Bihar) and is a prime example of the regional architectural styles that converged in Kashi. Today, part of the structure serves as a luxury heritage hotel, offering a majestic view of the Ganges.
