The burning pyres, the people who shave their hair, the singing of the sacred shlokas, the alms to the brahmins, the pandas (brahmin priests) sitting under enormous umbrellas that offer prayers to their clients, the devotees who pray and drink water from the sacred river are common. in these Ghats. The life of the city revolves around its seven kilometers of sweeping about 100 Ghats that bathe on the west bank of the Ganges. Most of them are used for bathing. Some are used to cremate bodies. The most sacred Ghats are Assi Ghat, Dasashwamedh Ghat, Manikarnika and Panchganga. The pilgrims who bathe in each one of them, consecutively, believe that their prayers will be fulfilled.
