The evening aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat draws large crowds, especially at weekends, on festival days and through the cooler months. Arriving late can mean watching over a sea of heads. We plan your arrival time and viewing position in advance, and tell you plainly what has been confirmed and what depends on the crowd.

There are two main ways to watch: from the ghat steps or a seating area where one is available, or from a boat moored facing the ceremony. A boat gives a clear view and an easy exit but depends on river level; the steps bring you closer to the chanting and the lamps. A team member can accompany you and walk you back through the lanes afterwards.

The morning aarti at Assi Ghat can be arranged the same way. Seating on the ghats is managed by local organisers and their rules apply; where a seat cannot be confirmed in advance, your quotation says so.

WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW

To arrange it well.

  1. Date, and whether you prefer the evening aarti or the morning aarti at Assi Ghat
  2. Viewing preference: ghat steps or seating, or from a boat
  3. Number of people, and anyone who cannot manage steps or long standing
  4. Whether you want a team member to accompany you
SCOPE AND LIMITS

What it is, and is not.

  • Viewing position and arrangements are stated in your quotation with their confirmation status.
  • Ghat seating is managed by local organisers and depends on their rules and the crowd.
  • Boat viewing depends on river level, weather and local restrictions on the day.
  • Boat viewing uses the boat chosen under Upgrade Your Boat Ride, not a second boat.
  • This is a viewing arrangement; it does not include taking part in the ceremony.

Added items are requests. If something is already part of your journey and tier it shows as included and is never charged twice.
