Manikarnika Ghat

Manikarnika Ghat is one of the holiest cremation places among the sacred riverfronts (ghats) found on the Ganges in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. In Hinduism, death is regarded as a portal to another life marked by the outcome of one's karma. It is considered that the soul of a human attains moksha, and hence breaks the cycle of rebirth when cremated here.
