Gau Ghat (Gandhi Ghat)
गऊ घाट
Pushkar's largest ghat, where part of Gandhi's ashes were scattered. Every evening at sunset, an Aarti fire ceremony takes place with bells and drums.
Gau Ghat is Pushkar's main ghat. In 1948, part of Mahatma Gandhi's ashes were scattered into the lake here, which is why it is also called Gandhi Ghat. Every day at sunset, priests perform the Aarti fire ceremony here, accompanied by bells and drums. It is the best time to experience Pushkar's religious atmosphere, and the rooftop café beside the ghat is a good place to look down on the scene. Shoes must be removed. Admission is free.
