Man Mandir Ghat

Man Mandir Ghat, constructed in the 16th century, was built by Raja Savai Man Singh. Earlier known as Someswara Ghat, the Man Mandir Ghat is named after Raja Savai Man Singh. The ghat was renovated in 19th century and houses a beautiful balcony located at the northern end of the ghat.
The ghat is dotted with many temples including Rameshwara Temple, Sthuladanta Vinayaka and Someswara temples. Someswara Temple is the exact replica of the Someswara lingam in Somanath of Gujarat. Moreover, the ghat also offers a view of a small observatory, which was constructed by Raja Jai Singh of Jaipur.
