History & Significance of Raja Gwalior Ghat
English
The Maharaja of Gwalior and the Scindia house raised this ghat under their patronage. North of the Panchganga quarter, it is quiet and historic. The great stairs still show the fineness of the old age. Between Jatara and Mangala Gauri Ghats, the ghat stays far from the crowds — time moves slowly here. The Scindia Ghat nearby is another memory of the same house.
हिन्दी
ग्वालियर के महाराजा और सिंधिया घराने ने इस घाट को अपने संरक्षण में बनवाया। पंचगंगा क्षेत्र के उत्तर में स्थित यह घाट शांत और ऐतिहासिक है। बड़ी सीढ़ियों पर आज भी पुराने जमाने की बारीकी दिखती है। जातरा और मंगला गौरी घाटों के बीच बसा यह घाट भीड़ से दूर है — यहां समय धीरे चलता है। पास का सिंधिया घाट भी इसी घराने की स्मृति है।
