Witness the deeply moving evening Ganga Aarti from a dedicated vantage point.
Each evening at Dashashwamedh Ghat, priests perform the Ganga Aarti — an elaborate, multi-lamp fire ceremony offered to the river — organised by the Ganga Seva Nidhi trust, which has kept the daily ritual running every evening without exception since 1991. This service arranges a comfortable, well-chosen vantage point so you can experience the aarti's rhythm, chanting and lamps without arriving hours early to claim a spot.
