Hindu temple in India

Saraswati Ghat सरस्वती घाट Religion Affiliation Hinduism Location Location Prayagraj Country India

**Saraswati Ghat** is probably the most spectacular[*[clarification needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify)*] [ghat](/source/Ghats) in [Prayagraj](/source/Prayagraj) on the bank of [Yamuna](/source/Yamuna) river in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is located close to Mankameshwar Temple of lord [Shiva](/source/Shiva). The name of ghat comes from Hindu Goddess of learning [Saraswati](/source/Saraswati). It is a newly built place.[*[when?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Chronological_items)*] Stairs from three sides descend to the greenish water of the [Yamuna](/source/Yamuna). Above there is a park which is covered with green grass.[1]

Around the corner of [Akbar's Fort](/source/Allahabad_Fort) near [Triveni Sangam](/source/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.

## Ropeway facility

It was proposed in the year 2017 that [Prayagraj](/source/Prayagraj) would get a ropeway facility over [Yamuna](/source/Yamuna) near Sangam before **Kumbh**. The tourism department has forwarded a proposal to the state government for approval.

"Two sites- Boat Club and near **Saraswati Ghat** have been suggested in the proposal for the facility. It will take tourists to a stretch near Arail," said Anupam Srivastava, regional tourism officer.[2] But nothing took form of reality and the project is perhaps abandoned.
