Overview

Durga Puja for families in Assi Ghat

Durga Puja honours Goddess Durga, the fierce yet compassionate form of Shakti who, in the Devi Mahatmya, defeats the buffalo demon Mahishasura. She is worshipped as a mother who protects her devotees and restores balance when adharma rises.

Assi Ghat sits at the southern end of Varanasi's main stretch of ghats, near where the Assi stream traditionally meets the Ganga. It is more open and relaxed than the ghats further north, and its wide steps make it a popular starting point for a morning on the river.

या देवी सर्वभूतेषु शक्तिरूपेण संस्थिता।

नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः॥

Devi Mahatmyam (Durga Saptashati)

Planning Your Puja in Assi Ghat

Mornings are the calmest time; aim to arrive around sunrise if your ritual includes the Ganga.
Assi is reachable by road, which makes it easier for elderly family members than ghats deep in the old city.
Boats can be hired at the ghat for travelling along the river to other ghats.
Crowds increase significantly around Dev Deepawali, Sawan and major snan days, so book accommodation and Pandits early.
Check with your guest house before planning a havan indoors or on the terrace.
Tell us whether you follow the Bengali or North Indian vidhi.
Keep red flowers, chunri, a kalash and prasad ready, or ask for samagri.
