यह घाट निरंजनी अखाड़े के संन्यासी संप्रदाय से जुड़ा है, जो काशी के प्राचीन योगी-संप्रदायों में से एक है। अखाड़े के साधु यहां स्नान और साधना करते थे। घाट छोटा और सादा है, इसलिए यहां कभी बड़ा तमाशा नहीं हुआ। पड़ोस के परिवार ही रोज़ सुबह यहां उतरते हैं। चेत सिंह किले से कुछ ही कदम की दूरी पर होने के बावजूद यह घाट अपनी शांति बचाए हुए है।
