Nigambodh Ghat

It is believed that the ghats were established by the eldest Pandava brother, Prince Yudhishthira, the king of Indraprastha. At present, the ghat area includes the largest and busiest cremation ground of New Delhi, where the Antyesti, Hindu funeral rites are carried out.

Nili Chatri mandir dedicated to Lord Shiva, also established by Yudhishthira and Nigambodh Gate lie adjacent to the ghats, which one of last gates of the walled city of Old Delhi (Shahjahanabad) built during Mughal Empire.
