About About the place

Chaumsathi Ghat is a quieter and less crowded ghat situated on the banks of the Ganges in Varanasi. It is particularly renowned for the temple complex dedicated to Goddess Kali, which houses statues of 64 Yoginis. The ghat also features the Omkara Das Kashi Ashram and the samadhi of Lahiri Mahashaya, attracting spiritual seekers. While the approach road can be narrow and uneven, the ghat offers a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful sunrise and sunset views. It serves as a significant bathing place for pilgrims and provides a glimpse into the religious and cultural heart of Varanasi.

Best for

Chaumsathi Ghat is best suited for spiritually inclined individuals, those interested in Hindu temples and culture, and visitors seeking a peaceful and less crowded experience of the Ganges.

Best season

Best time to visit

Weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends. Early morning (6 am - 8 am) or late evening (sunset) are ideal for enjoying the serene atmosphere and beautiful views.

Tips by Locals

Accessibility

Accessibility is limited due to the narrow, uneven approach road and the steps leading down to the ghat. Individuals with mobility issues may find it challenging to access the ghat directly. The temple complex may also present accessibility challenges.

Kid friendly

The ghat itself may not be ideally suited for young children due to the steps and potential crowds. However, the spiritual atmosphere and cultural significance could be educational for older children. There are no specific kid-focused facilities.

Pet friendly

Pets are generally not allowed in temples or ashrams. It's best to leave them at your accommodation.

Food facilities/restaurants/cafes

There are limited food facilities directly at Chaumsathi Ghat. However, food vendors and small restaurants can be found in the surrounding areas of Varanasi.
