Ram Gaya Ghat

Ram Gaya Ghat

This ghat is built as a cremation ground about 1 kilometer west of Vindhyachal. It is said that in Treta Yuga, Lord Shri Ram had performed Shraddha of his father Maharaja Dasharatha here. In front of the ghat, there is an island of stones in the middle of river Ganga, on which there is a round and tall stone rock, which is called Pret Shila.

On top of the ghat there is a temple of Maa Tara who is the presiding deity of Tantric powers. Special Tantric puja is performed in this crematorium and Maa Tara temple on Ashtami Tithi during Navratri.
