The Holy Waters of Ram Ghat

Aug 15, 2025

The Heart of Chitrakoot

Ram Ghat is the most bustling and spiritually significant ghat on the banks of the Mandakini River in Chitrakoot, Uttar Pradesh. It is believed that Lord Rama, Goddess Sita, and Lord Lakshmana took their sacred baths here during their 14-year exile in the forest.

Evening Aarti at Ram Ghat

As the sun sets over Chitrakoot, Ram Ghat transforms into a breathtaking spectacle of devotion. Priests chant sacred hymns, bells ring across the water, and hundreds of diyas (oil lamps) float gracefully on the serene Mandakini River. It is a deeply moving experience that purifies the soul and leaves a lasting impression on every pilgrim.

Best Time to Visit Ram Ghat

The evening Aarti typically begins around sunset (6:00–7:00 PM). The ghat is also beautiful at dawn for morning prayers and a holy dip in the Mandakini River.
