हिन्दुःघट्टः
चेत सिंह घाटChet Singh Ghat
A small sandstone fort rises straight from the steps: the riverside palace of Raja Chet Singh of Banaras. In August 1781 the Governor-General Warren Hastings tried to arrest him here, the city rose, and the Raja escaped down the wall to a boat. The uprising was crushed within weeks, but the fort still stands on the quiet stretch between Assi and Harishchandra ghats.

सूचनाः
- Ten minutes on foot north of Assi Ghat; from a boat, the round bastions are easy to pick out.
- The ghat was called Shivala Ghat before it took the Raja's name; the Shivala temple quarter is just behind it.
