Ghat Architecture

Ghat architecture refers to the design and construction of ghat structures, which are series of steps or staircases leading down to a river or waterfront, commonly found in India. These structures facilitate activities like bathing, washing, religious rituals, and transportation. Ghat architecture combines functionality with cultural and spiritual significance, often featuring brick or stone steps, pavilions, temples, and platforms. The design reflects local traditions, climate, and aesthetics, providing accessible, organized spaces for community use and spiritual practices along rivers or lakes.
