"Prayag Ghat" which is just south of and next to "Dasaswamedh Ghat", considered the most important section of the ghats in Varanasi. This means that Prayag Ghat is usually crowded with the overflow of people especially during daily early morning and evening pujas. The ghat was built by Balaji Bajirao in 1778 and replicates the Prayag holy city in Allahabad.
There is a yellow-brown colored Hindu shrine at the ghat. Holy men who sit in front of the shrine under rattan umbrellas provide fortune-telling services to the pilgrims. Many devotees will bathe in the Ganga from here.
