Rani Ghat, Patna

While in Patna there are many ghats on River Ganges, the most famous is the Rani Ghat. The ghat comes alive every weekend, as the river's evening aarti, a ritual performed with lamps, is held here. Dressed in saffron robes, priests perform the aarti, along with prayers and songs. The blowing of a conch shell signals the start of the aarti.
