'Considered to be one of the oldest ghats on River Ganga, Dasaswamedh also holds immense religious significance. The name Dasaswamedh Ghat means the ghat where ten horses were sacrificed. According to Hindu mythological legends, Lord Shiva returned from his exile as a result of this ritual. Due to its religious significance, the ghat is considered to be highly auspicious for religious ceremonies. This ghat makes for an unforgettable sight as it presents Varanasi at its colorful best. With a score of pilgrims offering their prayers amidst a sea of meditating sadhus, and noisy vendors trying to lure travelers, a visit to Dasaswamedh ghat is an engrossing experience.'
