हिन्दी
चौसट्टी का अर्थ है बासठ, और यह नाम चौसठ योगिनियों की परंपरा से जोड़ा जाता है — शक्ति की साठ-चार रूपों में पूजा। काशी के आस-पास योगिनी मंदिरों की प्राचीन परंपरा रही है। यह घाट उसी स्मृति को सहेजे हुए है। सीढ़ियाँ अठारहवीं-उन्नीसवीं सदी में बनीं। पास में दरभंगा और मुंशी घाट हैं। शाम के समय यहाँ का माहौल शांत और पुराना लगता है।
