Ghat

Ghat

As used in many parts of Northern South Asia, the term ghat refers to a series of steps leading down to a body of water, particularly a holy river. In Bengali-speaking regions, this set of stairs can lead down to something as small as a pond or as large as a major river.

Etymology

Ghats are the areas in holy riverside cities like Varanasi and Haridwar where stairs exist to reach the Ganges. It is also used for mountainous regions like the Western and Eastern Ghats.

The word Ghat is explained by numerous Dravidian etymons such as Telugu katta and gattu (dam, embankment) Tamil kattu (side of a mountain, dam, ridge, causeway) and Kannada gatta (mountain range). This etymology was proposed by Burrow and endorsed by Mayrhofer and Asko Parpola.

Slavic languages have a word gat that means corduroy road, but it is not clear if it is related to ghat.

Along the rivers Ganges and Narmada

The numerous significant ghats along the Ganges are known generally as the 'Varanasi ghats' and the 'ghats of the Ganges'. In Madhya Pradesh in western India there are further significant ghats along the Narmada River. People who live on the steps are also called ghats.

  • Amazing Agumbe Ghats: Dangerous Hairpin Bend

    We finally managed to drive through the beautiful Agumbe Ghat Section in daytime, and shot these videos at one of the 16 hairpin bends. The Agumbe Ghat Section is a part of NH169A in Karnataka and connects Udupi-Manipal at the coast with Thirthahalli in the midst of the Western Ghats. This is one of the shortest ghat sections to ascend/descend the Western Ghats, with a length of just 11km. This also makes it a very steep climb/descent, and hence the biggest vehicles you'll see here are 11-tonne trucks and modified (cut-chassis) buses that barely fit on the hairpin bends. Recently, the more dangerous sections were re-laid with concrete since maintaining asphalt roads in a region that gets one of the highest amounts of rainfall in the world is no joke. Agumbe is known to receive an average ...

Agumbe is known to receive an average annual rainfall of around 300 inches. Have a look at these vehicles on one of the more perilous hairpin bends (which I think is HP Bend No.8). One can easily make out the level of experience and driving skills of the drivers just by looking at the way they approach the turn. Enjoy!
