    It is showing shadow of Maratha Samrajya in it's construction. I can say Most Photogenic Place of 86 Ghats of Varansi. It's beautiful and if you see from far it is more beautiful like you have never seen before this type of ancient construction on the bank of river.

    Bhonsale Ghat built in 1780, is named after Maratha king Bhonsale of Nagpur. It was renovated in 1795. There are more than 84 ghats which have existed for hundreds of years on the bank of the river Ganges. It is one of the panoramic ghats which has a palatial stone building with many artistic windows on top. It has three heritage temples, Lakshminarayan Temple, Yameshwar Temple & Yamaditya Temple.

    Built in the 18th Century by the Bhosales of Maratha Empire , this magnificent fort like structure with broad steps leading to the river Ganga , is a very picturesque site . Especially when viewed from the boat. Pilgrims do not crowd in this ghat, so it is a good, clean place to sit peacefully in the evening and watch the flowing river .

    It's beautiful ghat built in somewhere in 1700 AD when the city was part of maratha empire. The ghat is famous for it's ancient architecture. There are many films have been shot here. Because it's beautiful view people often come here for photo shoot.

    Meditate here to get salvation. There is a Temple where the colors are "natural" and eco-friendly. The painting is still there, one can see that how our older generation did it with sustainable tech.

    This Ghat is built by Bhonsale of Nagpur. They also built fort castle like structure close to the bank. It is less crowded, clean and well maintained ghat

    One of the cleanest ghat near manikarnika ghat. A place w/ almost no crowds and a good place to sit and spend your time in peace

  • 5/5 Yuvaraj K. 2 years ago on Google • 71 reviews
    Bhosale ghat is not much far from Dashaswamedh ghat, its a connected ghat so you can easily reach here from Dashaswamedh moving towards Pachganga ghat. What I love about this ghat is that it is less crowded and quite peaceful where you can spend some nice time with yourself and your friends. Also, when you are coming to this ghat kindly throw any kind of the wastes in the dustbin only. Mahadev

  • 5/5 Rakhi 2 years ago on Google
    Constructed by the Maratha king Bhonsale of Nagpur in 1780, Bhonshala Ghat is the site of two important holy shrines- Yameshwara temple and Yamaditya temple. Yameshwara temple is dedicated to Yama, the Lord of Death and is considered to radiate the energy of bravery and masculinity. Women are not allowed to enter this temple. Bhonshala Ghat is an excellent example of the contributions rendered by Maratha rulers, to the very lifeline of Varanasi.
