Saraswati Ghat is probably the most spectacular[clarification needed] ghat in Prayagraj on the bank of Yamuna river in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is located close to Mankameshwar Temple of lord Shiva. The name of ghat comes from Hindu Goddess of learning Saraswati. It is a newly built place.[when?] Stairs from three sides descend to the greenish water of the Yamuna. Above there is a park which is covered with green grass.[1]
Around the corner of Akbar's Fort near Triveni Sangam, this ghat hosts a nightly aarti with lighting of lamps. There are facilities of food court also routes to reach Sangam by boat from here.
