Ghats in Varanasi are riverfront steps leading to the banks of the River Ganges. The city has 87 ghats.〔(Pollution clogs India’s sacred Ganges river )〕 Most of the ghats are bathing and puja ceremony ghats, while a few are used exclusively as cremation sites.〔Rob Bowden (2003), The Ganges, ISBN 978-0739860700, Heinemann〕 Most Varanasi ghats were built after 1700 AD, when the city was part of Maratha Empire.〔Diana Eck, Banaras: CITY OF LIGHT, ISBN 978-0691020235, Princeton University Press〕 The patrons of current ghats are Marathas, Shindes (Scindias), Holkars, Bhonsles, and Peshwes (Peshwas). Many ghats are associated with legends or mythologies while many ghats are privately owned. Morning boat ride on the Ganges across the ghats is a popular visitors attraction. ==List of ghats== The ghats as named and counted by the city of Varanasi are as follows: #Mata Anandamai Ghat #Assi Ghat #Ahilya Ghat #Adi Keshava Ghat #Ahilyabai Ghat #Badri Nayarana Ghat #Bajirao Ghat #Bauli /Umaraogiri / Amroha Ghat #Bhadaini Ghat #Bhonsale Ghat #Brahma Ghat #Bundi Parakota Ghat #Chaowki Ghat #Chausatthi Ghat #Cheta Singh Ghat #Dandi Ghat #Darabhanga Ghat #Dashashwamedh Ghat #Digpatia Ghat #Durga Ghat #Ganga Mahal Ghat (I) #Ganga Mahal Ghat (II) #Gaay Ghat #Gauri Shankar Ghat #Genesha Ghat #Gola Ghat #Gularia Ghat #Hanuman Ghat #Hanumanagardhi Ghat #Harish Chandra Ghat #Jain Ghat #Jalasayi Ghat #Janaki Ghat #Jatara Ghat #Karnataka State Ghat #Kedar Ghat #Khirkia Ghat #Shri Guru Ravidass Ghat #Khori Ghat #Lala Ghat #Lali Ghat #Lalita Ghat #Mahanirvani Ghat #Mana Mandira Ghat #Manasarovara Ghat #Mangala Gauri Ghat #Manikarnika Ghat #Mehta Ghat #Meer Ghat #Munshi Ghat #Nandesavara Ghat #Narada Ghat #Naya Ghat #Nepali Ghat #Niranjani Ghat #Nishad Ghat #Old Hanumanana Ghat #Pancaganga Ghat #Panchkota #Pandey Ghat #Phuta Ghat #Prabhu Ghat #Prahalada Ghat #Prayaga Ghat #Raj Ghat built by Peshwa Amrutrao #Raja Ghat / Lord Duffrin bridge / Malaviya Bridge #Raja Gwalior Ghat #Rajendra Prasad Ghat #Ram Ghat #Rana Mahala Ghat #Rewan Ghat #Sakka Ghat #Sankatha Ghat #Sarvesvara Ghat #Scindia Ghat #Shivala Ghat #Shitala Ghat #Sitala Ghat #Somesvara Ghat #Telianala Ghat #Trilochana Ghat #Tripura Bhairavi Ghat #Tulsi Ghat #Vaccharaja Ghat #Venimadhava Ghat #Vijayanagaram Ghat #Samne Ghat 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ghats in Varanasi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
