The Bundi Parkota Ghat is located on the north side of Dashaswamedh Ghat, a short distance after Scindia Ghat along the Ganges in Varanasi. The dhoby operating here left their washing to dry on the open ground. This is one of several ghats along the Ganges where laundry is being washed and dried. According to what I read, Bundi Parkota Ghat used to be called the Raja Mandira Ghat. It was created by Raja Surajana Hada, the King of Bundi, in 1580AD. Above this ghat are the shrines of Sesa Madhava, Karnadity and Laksmi Nrsimha.

I explored the Bundi Parkota Ghat on a hot afternoon in November. There were not many people here. Most foreign tourists are concentrated around Dashaswamedh Ghat, so this is slightly off the beaten bath.

Carpets left to dry - not sure whether this ghat is also Bundi Parkota or a different name; every small section seems to have its own name.
