Manikarnika Ghat
Manikarnika Ghat is one of the holiest cremation grounds among the sacred river fronts (ghats), alongside the river Ganga. In Hinduism, death is considered as a gateway to another life marked by the results of one's karma. It is believed that a dead human's soul attains moksha, and hence breaks the cycle of rebirth when cremated here. Thus, scores of the elderly across the whole country seek to walk up to its edges, and spend their last days absorbing the charisma of the ghat making death painless and insignificant to be pondered upon. Its believed that the fire from funeral has never stopped here since thousands of years of its origin.
This Ghat is seen during the morning boat ride you may request your Boatman to make a Photostop, however it is not the standard part of the tour to stop.
