| Pushkar Ghats |
The term ghats refers to a series of steps leading down
to a body of water in many parts of India like Pushkar
lake, Varanasi . In Bengali-speaking regions, this set
of stairs can lead down to something as small as a pond
or as large as a major river. In Hindi-speaking areas,
it is typically used to refer specifically to the steps
leading to the River Ganges (Ganga) in the holy city of
Varanasi. Many religiously significant ghats are situated
on the Ganges and Narmada Rivers.
Numerous ghats run down the lake and the pilgrims are
bathing in the lake's Holi waters. Photography is prohibited.
