Manikarnika Ghat is a famous cremation ground located in Varanasi, India. It is one of the oldest and most sacred ghats in Varanasi and is named after the Hindu goddess Manikarnika.
The ghat is considered to be a holy place for Hindus, and it is believed that if a person's ashes are scattered here, they will attain Moksha or liberation from the cycle of birth and death. It is also believed that the ghat is where the sacred river Ganges meets the mythical river Saraswati.
Manikarnika Ghat is a bustling place, with funeral pyres burning continuously throughout the day and night. Visitors can also take a boat ride along the river to view the ghat from a distance. However, it is important to show respect and reverence while visiting the ghat, as it is a place of mourning and spiritual significance for many people.
