Ghat: A ghat generally refers to a series of steps leading down to a river, often used as a place for religious rituals, such as bathing, cremation, or prayer. Ghats are deeply connected with the cycle of life and death, playing a role in Hindu rituals of purification and salvation. Some famous ghats in Nepal, like the Pashupatinath cremation ghats along the Bagmati River, are well-known for their religious importance.
