★ ★ ★ ★ ★ clean and painted ghat.
The Jain Ghat or Bachraj Ghat is a Jain Ghat and has three Jain Temples located on the banks of the River. It is believed that the Jain Maharajas used to own these ghats. Bachraj Ghat has three Jain temples near the river's banks and one they are a very ancient temple of Tirthankara Suparswanath.
The headquarters of the Sri Kashi Math Samsthan, a spiritual school followed by the Konkani speaking Goud Saraswat Brahmins, is located in Brahma Ghat.
In Hindu traditions, cremation is one of the rites of passage and the Ghats of Varanasi are considered one of the auspicious locations for this ritual. At the time of the cremation or "last rites", a "Puja" (prayer) is performed. Hymns and mantras are recited during cremation to mark the ritual. The Manikarnika and Harishchandra Ghats are dedicated to the cremation ritual. Annually, less than 2 in 1000 people who die in India, or 25,000 to 30,000 bodies are cremated on various Varanasi Ghats; about an average of 80 per day. This practise has become controversial for the pollution it causes to the river. In the 1980s, the Government of India funded a Clean Ganges initiative, to address cremation and other sources of pollution along the Ghats of Varanasi. In many cases, the cremation is done elsewhere and only the ashes are dispersed into the river near these Ghats.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Earlier known as Vaccharaja Ghat, this ghat in Varanasi was purchased by the Jain community in 1931, and they fortified it, renaming it as Jain ghat. Jain society performs religious activities on this ghat and also takes a bath in the Southern region of the ghat. The Northern region, however, is inhabited by the Mallaha or boatman families, which gives a different bent to the Jain ghat.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Jain Ghat Varanasi has a great significance for all the Jain pilgrims. This is the venue of three Jain temples and birthplace of Jain tirthankara Bhagwan suparshvnath.
This is the place where all the four Kalyanak of Bhagwan Suparshwanath took place.
Ghat has a great scenery of the Ganges especially when viewed from the temple terraces.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a very popular and well maintained ghat that has a very old and historical Jain Temple (so the name is) as a landmark. One has to climb the steep steps from the ghat to reach the temple top and it's all worthy as the views the place offer are awesome.
