Which are the most important locations for Tarpan in Varanasi?

While Tarpan can be performed at many ghats along the Ganga in Varanasi, some are particularly favoured:

• Dashashwamedh Ghat: The main and most famous ghat, known for its vibrant spiritual atmosphere and proximity to Kashi Vishwanath Temple.
• Assi Ghat: Located at the confluence of the Ganga and Assi rivers, it’s popular and offers a relatively serene environment for rituals.
• Manikarnika Ghat: Primarily a cremation ghat, but rituals like Tarpan are performed nearby due to its immense sanctity and association with Moksha.
• Harishchandra Ghat: Another major cremation ghat, also considered sacred for ancestral rites.
• Panchganga Ghat: Believed to be the confluence of five rivers, considered auspicious.
• Kedar Ghat: An Important ghat associated with the Kedareshwar Temple.
• Pishachmochan Kund: While not a Ganga ghat, this sacred pond in Varanasi is specifically renowned for rites aimed at liberating souls troubled by untimely deaths or negative influences.
