Abstract
Varanasi, the holy city of India, is also known by the name Kashi and Benaras among the locals. It is believed in Hinduism that Hindus who are cremated in Varanasi achieve an instant gateway to heaven. Ghats in Varanasi are the foremost places of performing pujas or are used exclusively for cremation sites (as per Hindu rituals). However with increasing population in India, the spiritual city is also being under the threat of acute problem of pollution. The river Ganga, along whose bank the city rose, is being constantly at a risk of endangering level of pollution from sewage or as a result of cremation. Thus there emerged a great concern to save and clean the river Ganga along with the Ghats in its vicinity. Several measures are taken by the Government to look into the matters more attentively. Thus it is of dire need of the people to address these problems with utmost concern.
