Kedar Ghat, a sacred spot on the banks of the Ganges, is steeped in tradition and devotion. According to local belief, this ghat is said to be the place where Lord Shiva, the destroyer, is believed to have performed the sacred ritual of the Tirtha Raj. Tradition holds that the Ganges River, which flows through Varanasi, is none other than the divine Ganga, sent to earth by Lord Shiva to purify the souls of the faithful. As a result, Kedar Ghat is considered a prime spot for spiritual seekers and devotees, who come to pay their respects to the divine and seek solace in the eternal cycle of life and death.
