Ganga Ghat is situated in the Panchvati area of Nashik. It is actually on the banks of the River Godavari which passes through the centre of the holy town of Nashik in Maharashtra, but the local people refer to it as their Ganga (Mother Goddess).
Holy River Bank.
It is supposed to be a very holy place for the Hindus, where many come to immerse the ashes of their loved ones for the onward journey to ‘Moksha’. Others take a dip or swim in the river to wash off their sins.
There are many temples on the banks and nearby, namely the Shree Ganga Godavari temple, the Kapaleshwar Mahadev temple, the Goraram temple, the Varad Vinayak Ganpati temple, the Vyankatesh Balaji temple, and many other smaller temples. The Ramkund and the Laxman kund, where Lord Ram and Laxman used to bathe, are also nearby.
There is a huge two sided statue of Lord Hanuman (Dutondya Maruti Mandir) on the banks of Ganga Ghat. As you walk a little further downstream you will come to the ‘Gangewarchya Bhaji Bazar’ which is the local vegetable market. There are many shops selling local products like agarbattis, kishmis (raisins) and fresh flowers, et al.
It was a good experience to walk along the paved pathway from the Ganga Godavari temple down to the local market, taking in the sights and sounds of the holy city.
