It is located close to Vishwanath Temple and is probably the most spectacular ghat. Two Hindu legends are associated with it: According to one, Lord Brahma created it to welcome Lord Shiva. According to another legend, Lord Brahma sacrificed ten horses during Dasa-Ashwamedha yajna performed here.[1] The present ghat was built by Peshwa Balaji Baji Rao in the year 1748. A few decades later, Ahilyabahi Holkar, the Queen of Indore rebuilt the ghat in the year 1774.[2] Close to the ghat, overlooking the Ganga lies the Jantar Mantar, an observatory built by Maharaja Jai Singh of Jaipur in the year 1737.[3] Ganga aartiGanga Aarti (ritual of offering prayer to the Ganges river) is held daily at dusk. Several priests perform this ritual by carrying deepam and moving it up and down in a rhythmic tune of bhajans.[4] Special aartis are held on Tuesdays and on religious festivals. Duration of the Ganga Aarti is around 45 minutes. It starts soon after sunset. In summers, they begin at around 7 PM due to late sunset but it starts at around 6 PM in winters. If you are in Varanasi to see Ganga Aarti before to reach the Dashashwamedh Ghat 30 minutes in advance to get a proper place to sit or for photography of the event. It is because hundreds of people reach the ghat every evening to see Ganga Aarti.[5] 2010 terrorist bombing{{main|2010 Varanasi bombing}}On 7 December 2010 a low-intensity blast rocked the southern end of the aarti at the Sitla Ghat. This killed 2 people and injured 37 including 6 foreign tourists, and the Indian Mujahideen claimed responsibility for it.[6][7] References1. ^Dasasvamedha Ghat Varanasi official website. 2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.mcpr-bhu.org/places%20in%20Varanasi.htm|title=PLACES TO VISIT IN VARANASI|website=www.mcpr-bhu.org|access-date=2018-02-11}} 3. ^Jantar Mantar Hardwick University. 4. ^{{cite book|author=Shradha Banavalikar|title=Roots of Moondust: When Struggle Wears a Different Hat, Look at it in the Eye!|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=R-RDDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT73|date=20 December 2017|publisher=Notion Press|isbn=978-1-948321-29-7|pages=73–}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=https://triponzy.com/blog/ganga-aarti-at-dashashwamedh-ghat-in-varanasi/|title= Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat in Varanasi |date=22 January 2019|publisher=Triponzy}} 6. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.zeenews.com/news673011.html|title=Terror strikes Varanasi: 1 killed|date=8 December 2010|publisher=Zee News}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/site/specials/cwg/Story/122574/varanasi-blast-triggers-a-blame-game.html|title=Varanasi blast triggers a blame game|date=9 December 2010|work=India Today}} External links{{commons category}}
