Bachraj Ghat
Bachraj Ghat (बच्चराज घाट) is one of the 84 sacred ghats lining the western bank of the Ganga in Varanasi. Three Jain temples grace this ghat — Varanasi's multi-faith heritage. This ghat contributes to the extraordinary panorama that has made Varanasi's riverfront a UNESCO World Heritage candidate. Each ghat tells its own story — of royal patronage, spiritual significance, or daily life in the world's oldest living city. Visit as part of a morning boat ride or an evening walk along the riverfront to experience its unique character.
