Deep Dive: Shivala Ghat
Shivala Ghat is deeply connected to the history of the Kashi Naresh (King of Varanasi). It was the site of a major confrontation between Chet Singh and the British forces in the late 18th century.
The ghat is dominated by a large mansion and several small Shiva temples. It is a quiet area, less frequented by tourists, providing a glimpse into the local residential life of the ghat-side communities. The water here is often used for the daily baths of the citys wrestling communities.
