About
Namo Ghat is situated near Rajghat in Varanasi and is easily accessible by various modes of transportation. Originally known as Khidkiya Ghat, it was reconstructed and renamed Namo Ghat, making it the 85th ghat in the city. One of its most striking features is a set of three massive sculptures in the shape of hands folded in namaste, which have become a popular tourist attraction. The sculptures symbolise the traditional Indian greeting and appear to welcome visitors to the land of Kashi. Namo Ghat is the first ghat in Kashi to be accessible by water, land, and air. Its minimal interior design combined with traditional Kashi wall paintings evokes both modernity and heritage.
