    It is the place where Ganga aarti happens on every Saturday and Sunday. It heals your soul and divine place. Ganga (River Ganges) which originates from Himalayas and touches a vast geography along India has a very sacred touch in the hindu heartland. Gandhi Ghat is one of the prominent ghats of Patna. Every Saturday and Sunday one can witness one of the most magnificent hindu ritua, "the Ganga Aarti" . Since there is no fixed timings as it completely depends upon sunset, its better to reach the place by 5pm. It gets crowded by both locals and tourists. One thing that is highly missed out is the excellent boat ride with a marvellous view of the Aarti on Gandhi Ghat. Make sure you reach before 5.30 and buy the ticket for the BSTC Boat though not A/c but still good and excellent bi lingual guide. See sites along the bank of the river Ganga and then stop for the Aarti. Ganga Aarti on Gandhi Ghat is performed with 51 lamps, by a group of priests, dressed in saffron robes. The Aarti starts with the blowing of a conch shell and continues with the movement of incense sticks in elaborate patterns and circling of large burning lamps that create a bright hue against the darkened sky. The ritual was started in 2011 on the lines of Ganga Aarti in Varanasi and Haridwar.

    This is a very nice place to visit. You can enjoy the nature of river Ganga here. You will definately feel relaxed, when you sit beside this holy river. The Ganga Aarti which is usually done in the evening of Saturday and Sunday each is very relaxing. You will feel very relaxed. Aarti is so soothing that you will forget all your stress for a moment. It is a must visit place if you are in patna. There are the boats available to go on the other side of the river which seems to be a different place then this side of the river, completely filled with farm lands and there is no electricity, actually this is a river island. On this river island you can find various local farmers busy in their work. It is a complete different place than City and lies just next to the city. If you are there at Gandhi Ghat in the afternoon then you should go to the other side of Ganga. Overall Ganga Aarti Stal is a very nice place. I loved this place. I can spend the whole day sitting beside Ganga.

    Gandhi Ghat (Hindi: गांधी घाट) is one of the main ghats on the Ganges River in Patna. It is named after the leader of the Indian independence movement Mahatma Gandhi. The ghat is famous for its Evening Ganga Aarti.[1] It is also associated with the immersion of ashes of Mahatma Gandhi in the river Ganges.

  • 4/5 Madhukar T. 5 years ago on Google
    Best place for mind relaxation. ★During  6 PM- 7PM on Saturday and Sunday aarti starts with the blowing of a conch shell(शंख) and continues with the movement of incense sticks(अगरबत्ती) in elaborate patterns and circling of large burning lamps that create a bright hue against the darkened sky. ★The Ganga Aarti was started in 2011 on the patterns of that in Varanasi and Haridwar and today it is one of the most spectacular events in Patna and attracts large numbers of Viewers including Locals as well as Tourists. ★In order to have the best glimpse of Ganga Aarti, tourists should hire a  Boat or view it from MV Ganga Vihar, the floating restaurant
