Kesi Ghat is a historically significant and spiritual landmark located on the banks of the Yamuna River in Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh, India. According to Hindu mythology, this is the place where Lord Krishna took a bath after slaying the demon Kesi, who took the form of a horse, thus giving the ghat its name. It is a central place of worship, attracting devotees all year round who come to take a dip in the holy river, believing it washes away their sins. The ghat is lined with numerous temples and offers a picturesque view of the Yamuna, especially during sunrise and sunset. The evening aarti ceremony is a captivating experience with lit lamps, chanting, and singing, creating a serene and spiritual atmosphere. Visitors find solace and peace as they immerse themselves in the ghat's religious and cultural significance.
