Lalita GhatLalita Ghatललिता घाट

Nepal's gift to the riverfront. King Rana Bahadur Shah, living in exile here around 1800, began a copy of Kathmandu's Pashupatinath above the steps; his son finished it, and the carved-wood Nepali Mandir still stands between Dashashwamedh and Manikarnika. The ghat is named for Lalita Devi, whose shrine here is one of the city's shakti sites, and it is now the river entrance to the Kashi Vishwanath Dham corridor.
