A visit to Dashashwamedh Ghat is a must if you’re exploring Varanasi, immersing you in both history and spirituality. Named after a horse ritual conducted by Lord Brahma, this ancient site holds a profound significance in Hindu mythology, believed to have been created by Lord Brahma himself to welcome Lord Shiva. The ghat, considered the oldest and holiest in Varanasi, is renowned for its captivating Ganga aarti.

Every evening, as the sun sets, lose yourself in the mesmerising Ganga aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat. This sacred ritual, performed by several priests, involves bhajans and offerings to the holy Ganges, creating a captivating ambience along the riverbanks. This aarti is a daily occurrence that attracts hundreds of people from around the world. The experience becomes even more special on Tuesdays and during religious festivals, when unique aartis are conducted.

Varanasi's Ganga aarti offers you a glimpse into the spiritual essence of the city. BrijRama Palace strives to enhance your cultural journey in every way possible. They organise shared evening boat cruises, providing the perfect vantage point to witness the enchanting Ganga aarti.

The atmosphere is charged with a palpable sense of spirituality. The aarti is a moment of connection, not just with the divine but also with the rich history and traditions of Varanasi. As the priests make offerings to the river, and the crowd joins in the collective prayers, there is a sense of unity that transcends differences.

The flickering flames from the multiple oil lamps, synchronised to the resonant prayers, create a mesmerising scene along the riverbank. This shared experience fosters a sense of community, allowing you to connect with the locals and fellow mindful travellers as you collectively absorb the beauty and spiritual energy that emanates from this age-old tradition.
