Sacred Stillness and Living Heritage: A Journey to Manikarnika Ghat

Sacred Stillness and Living Heritage: A Journey to Manikarnika Ghat

By Lenin Raghuvanshi & Shruti Nagvanshi

Recently, we undertook a spiritual and reflective visit to Manikarnika Ghat, one of the most sacred and ancient ghats of Varanasi. Known as the eternal cremation ground, Manikarnika is not merely a physical location—it is a place where life, death, and liberation meet in the flames of time. The atmosphere here is unlike anywhere else in the world—raw, reverent, and deeply symbolic.

As we walked through the narrow lanes leading to the ghat, we were enveloped in the scent of sandalwood, the chant of mantras, and the steady rhythm of temple bells. It is here that the boundaries between the spiritual and the earthly dissolve.

First Ganesh: The Auspicious Beginning

Our journey began at the First Ganesh Temple, believed to be the deity one must first offer prayers to before embarking on any pilgrimage within Varanasi. Standing before the idol of Lord Ganesha, remover of obstacles, we felt a sense of grounding and peace—a fitting beginning to what unfolded as a deeply reflective experience.

Manokamana Mahadev: The Fulfillment of Wishes

Next, we reached the revered Manokamana Mahadev Temple—the temple of wish-fulfilling Shiva. Devotees believe that prayers offered here with sincerity never go unanswered. We stood in silence, offering our intentions not just for ourselves but for the communities we serve, praying for dignity, justice, and healing for all.

Manikarnika Mahadev: Shiva in the Shadow of Liberation

Finally, we reached the Manikarnika Mahadev Temple, located close to the pyres of Manikarnika Ghat. This temple stands as a witness to the final rites of thousands who pass through the sacred fire, seeking moksha—liberation from the cycle of birth and rebirth.

It's important to clarify that while there is a Manikarnika Mahadev Temple in Varanasi, which we visited, another temple of the same name exists in Manikaran, Himachal Pradesh—famous for its hot springs and divine legends. Both are deeply sacred in Hindu tradition, but our visit was to the one deeply interwoven with Varanasi’s spiritual and cultural identity.

Reflections Beyond Ritual

Our walk along Manikarnika was not just about witnessing ancient rituals but understanding the continuity of cultural memory. This ghat doesn’t just deal with death—it honors life. The presence of people, priests, pilgrims, and pyres is a profound reminder of our shared human destiny and the deeper values that bind us: compassion, service, and dignity for all.

We left the ghat with our hearts heavy and full at once—aware of the transience of life, yet more committed to our lifelong work for human rights, equity, and justice. Manikarnika is not an end—it is a beginning, a place where the soul whispers truths the world often forgets.
