It is said that at the Manikarnika Ghat of Kashi, Lord Shiva himself provides Taraka Mantra to those who die and his soul gets liberation from the cycle of life and death. This is the reason why most people in Hinduism want their cremation to take place at the Manikarnika Ghat in Kashi after his death.

The Manikarnika Ghat is located on the banks of the Ganges river in Varanasi and there are two routes available to reach here, one of which itself is the river Ganga where you can reach through the nave and the other is the road, which is located in Kashi. Kashi starts at the entrance of Vishwanath and the Manikarnika gate near the Gyanvapi area and passes through the narrow streets of Benaras, which are known as Lahori Tola and Manikarnika Galli.

The Panchkroshi circumambulation of Kashi also starts from this place. It is believed that at this Manikarnika Ghat, Lord Shankar performed the last rites of the body of Mother Sati. For this reason, this shrine is known as Mahashmshan. There is also an ancient temple of Tarakeshwar Mahadev on the Manikarnika Ghat, with the belief that Lord Shankar himself gives Taraka Mantra in the ears of the dead creature, which gives salvation to the deceased soul. The fire of pyre never calms down at this majestic ghat of Kashi. That is, there is a cremation of someone for 24 hours throughout the year. 200 to 300 dead bodies are cremated here every day.

According to the Garuda Purana, the last action should not be done after the evening, but Manikarnika Ghat is called Mahashmashaan due to its association with Lord Shiva. And here the funeral is allowed round the clock.
For Hindus, this ghat is considered the most sacred for cremation. It is said that Manikarnika Ghat has been blessed by Lord Shiva with eternal peace. One can get to know about the reality of life only by reaching this ghat.
Ganga Aarti Varanasi (Benaras, Kashi), India - The video shows the Hindu religious ritual of worship for the holy river Ganges. The ceremony happens everyday from 6.30 -7.30 pm at Dashashwamedh Ghat on the Ganges river banks. A must watch event while in Varanasi, and is enjoyed by locals and tourists from all over the world.

Dashashwamedh Ghat (दशाश्वमेध घाट) is the main ghat in Varanasi on the Ganges River. It is located close to "Vishwanath Temple" and is probably the most spectacular ghat. Two Hindu mythologies 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.

Aarti is said to have descended from the Vedic concept of fire rituals, or homa. In the traditional Aarti ceremony, the flower represents the earth (solidity), the water and accompanying handkerchief correspond with the water element (liquidity), the lamp or candle represents the fire component (heat), the peacock fan conveys the precious quality of air (movement), and the yak-tail fan represents the subtle form of ether (space). The incense represents a purified state of mind, and one's "intelligence" is offered through the adherence to rules of timing and order of offerings. Thus, one's entire existence and all facets of material creation are symbolically offered to the Lord via the Aarti ceremony.The word may also refer to the traditional Hindu devotional song that is sung during the ritual.

Varanasi is a city on the banks of the Ganges (Ganga) in Uttar Pradesh, 320 kilometres (200 mi) southeast of the state capital, Lucknow. It is the holiest of the seven sacred cities (Sapta Puri) in Hinduism and Jainism, and played an important role in the development of Buddhism. Some Hindus believe that death at Varanasi brings salvation. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Varanasi is also known as the favourite city of the Hindu deity Lord Shiva as it has been mentioned in the Rigveda that this city at older times was known as Kashi or "Shiv ki Nagri".
