History & Significance of Naya Ghat
English
The name New is the ghat's own story. When the river's course changed, the old stairs were left far from the water. New stairs were raised, and the ghat took the very name Naya. Its solid eighteenth-century masonry is its mark. Between Bhonsale and Ganesh Ghats, the ghat witnesses both bathing and cremation rites, for the Manikarnika quarter is close by.
हिन्दी
नया नाम ही इस घाट की कहानी है। जब नदी का बहाव बदला तो पुरानी सीढ़ियां पानी से दूर हो गईं। उनकी जगह नई सीढ़ियां बनाई गईं और घाट का नाम ही नया पड़ गया। अठारहवीं सदी की ठोस चिनाई इसकी पहचान है। भोंसले और गणेश घाटों के बीच बसा यह घाट स्नान और अंत्येष्टि दोनों कर्मों का साक्षी है, क्योंकि मणिकर्णिका क्षेत्र पास ही है।
