★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Manikarnika Ghat is one of the holiest cremation grounds among the sacred riverfronts (ghats), alongside the river Ganga, in the city of Varanasi in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. In Hinduism, death is considered as a gateway to another life marked by the results of one's karma. It is believed that a dead human's soul attains moksha, and hence breaks the cycle of rebirth when cremated here. Thus, scores of the elderly across the whole country seek to walk up to its edges, and spend their last days absorbing the charisma of the ghat making death painless and insignificant to be pondered upon.

It is believed that a dead human's soul attains moksha, and hence breaks the cycle of rebirth when cremated here.[2] Thus, scores of the elderly across the whole country seek to walk up to its edges, and spend their last days absorbing the charisma of the ghat making death painless and insignificant to be pondered upon.
The ghat is named after Sati's earrings which fell here.[3] The Hindu genealogy registers at Varanasi are kept here.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Manikarnika Ghat
Believed to be the holiest cremation ground in varanasi. For me its a must visit place (won't recommend everyone). Just go and spent 15-20 mins at the ghat trust me it will be worth. On an average daily 180-200 bodies are burnt to ashes here. It is said that the fire at Manikarnika Ghat has not been extinguished till now since it was established.
