Varanasi City famous for its beautiful Ghats Manikanka that is also one of them,very popular and attractive sightseeing in Varanasi a place where 24hrs Cremation for Holy Hindus and pligrem is also known this Ghat for Moksh Duwar Strongly Recommended. It is other name of rani lakshmibai. Manikarnika means one who does what ever his soul command him/her. Manikarnika Ghat is considered to be one of the holiest ghats in India. It is believed that if the dead body of a person is cremated here, then the dead human’s soul finds salvation/Moksha. At Manikarnika Ghat, there is a well, which is known as Manikarnika Kund. It was built by Lord Vishnu.
This is the 24 hour cremation Ghat where people travel from all over India to gain entrance to the promise land. They believe if they are cremated here and then placed into the Ganges river they will have eternal salvation. They see death as a happy occasion which I found to be inspiring. The process of cremation lasts over 3 days as they prepare the body first by a full cleanse then they prepare the loved one with oils and herbs which is why you do not smell burning flesh. They carry their loved one to the Ghat where they do more rituals prior to the cremation. The only thing you smell is the wood burning.
Every Hindu wants to be cremated here.Here the Naswar body is purified by the pyre. The soul is freed from world and unified with God. This is one of the main ghats where the cremations shall happen 24*7. It is believed that the soul shall get purified once the body is cremated in this ghat; Sit and observe from far, the process of cremation; It gives immense inner peace and helps us understand the philosophy of life without anyone being explaining to us.
This ghat is a solemn reminder of the ultimate fate of humankind which is death. While the mighty river Ganga gives life, death is the only certainty. "Death is true utsav of life" - is a befitting tagline to this highly auspicious ghat where the departing souls are said to attain the true salvation. The final ritual of everyone. Good to sit and watch everything around this ghat. It uplift the conciousness.
When you sit in your boat and see the pyres lit...there is complete inner silence..and contemplation... This is where metaphorically we will all end up.
