Ahilya Ghat - Maheshwar (Madhya Pradesh)

In Maheshwar, there are popular ghats namely, Ahilya Ghat, Peshwa Ghat, and Fanase Ghat. These ghats on the serene Narmada are charming and definitely cleaner than those of the river Ganga or the river Yamuna. Running along the banks are countless temples dedicated to the numerous Hindu deities. On these ghats, watch the daily rituals of ordinary villagers. You’ll get a pretty good idea of how life still revolves around the river in most villages of India. If you know swimming, then swim in the mighty Narmada - it is an exhilarating experience. On these ghats there are stone memorials to all the women who ever committed sati here.
