History & Significance of Gularia Ghat

The name Gularia comes from the gular, the cluster fig, common in the lanes of Kashi. A great tree is said to have stood here once, giving shade to resting travellers. The ghat is very small, with only a few steps reaching the water. Neighbouring families bathe here daily. Beside the grandeur of Shivala Ghat, this one catches the eye through sheer simplicity.

हिन्दी
गुलरिया नाम गूलर के पेड़ से बना है, जो काशी के मुहल्लों में आम था। पुराने समय में इस स्थान पर एक बड़ा गूलर वृक्ष होता था, जिसकी छाया में यात्री विश्राम करते थे। घाट बहुत छोटा है और उसके पानी तक पहुँचने के लिए बस कुछ ही सीढ़ियाँ हैं। आस-पास के परिवार यहाँ स्नान करते हैं। शिवाला घाट की भव्यता के बगल में यह घाट अपनी सादगी से ध्यान खींचता है।
