Among
the
Ghats
of
Kashi,
"Hanuman
Ghat"
is
specially
the
Ghat
of
Sadhu-Mahatma
people.
In
the
upper
part
of
this
ghat,
there
is
a
very
ancient
big
temple
of
Hanuman
ji.
Apart
from
Hanuman
ji,
Ram
Darbar
nine
and
a
horse
are
also
established
in
this
temple,
which
reminds
of
the
celebration
of
Ram
ji's
Ashwamedh
victory.
In
the
courtyard
of
the
Hanuman
temple,
there
is
a
very
grand
temple
of
Lord
Dattatreya,
on
whose
walls
wonderful
paintings
related
to
the
biography
of
Lord
Dattatreya
have
been
done.
Along
with
this,
the
worshipers
of
Ram,
Lakshman,
Bharat,
Shatrudhna
have
been
established
in
the
form
of
linga
in
the
company
of
Dattatreya
temple.
Mainly
the
worship
and
arrangement
of
Hanuman
Ghat
and
temple
is
under
Dashnami
Juna
Akhara.
Hanuman
Ghat
Mohalla
is
mostly
inhabited
by
South
Indians.
There
is
a
temple
of
Sringeri
Shankaracharya
in
Hanuman
Ghat
Mohalla,
in
which
all
the
sadhus
of
Dash-Nami
Akhara
visit
after
Kumbh
bath.
Entering
the
Hanuman
Ghat
locality,
it
seems
as
if
you
have
reached
the
Vedic
era,
wherever
you
go,
only
Vedic
voices
are
heard.
Hanuman
Ghat
is
one
of
the
most
visited
ghats
of
Varanasi.
Hanuman
Ghat
is
known
so
because
a
temple
of
Lord
Hanuman
was
built
here
by
esteemed
poet-saint
Goswami
Tulsi
Das
of
Ramcharitmanas
fame.
Earlier,
Hanuman
Ghat
was
called
Rameshwaram
Ghat
too
because
Lord
Ram
had
established
&
worshipped
a
‘Shivlingam’
by
his
own
hands.
Girvanpadmanjari
(गिरवांपद्मांजरी)
of
the
17th
century
mentions
it.
The
Rameshwar
Shivlingam,
worshipped
as
one
of
the
Dwadash
Jyotirlinga
of
Varanasi,
is
presently
located
within
the
premises
of
Juna
Akhara
of
Naga
sadhus.
In
1825
AD,
Hanuman
Ghat
was
made
pucca
by
Juna
Akhara
Mahant
Hariharnath.
James
Princep
in
1831
AD
mentions
Hanuman
Ghat.
In
early
20th
century,
the
ghat
was
re-constructed
by
State
of
Mysore.
Again,
in
1984,
the
Irrigation
Department
of
the
Government
of
Uttar
Pradesh
renovated
Hanuman
Ghat.
