Lesser-known facts

  • The site is named after Sheetal Das, a saint-poet whom sources place in the 16th century making this a genuinely old spiritual site tucked into what's now a modern lakeside garden setting.
  • Beyond quiet daily visitors, the ghat transforms dramatically during festivals: Chhath Puja and Deep Daan see it lit with thousands of lamps, turning a peaceful daytime retreat into one of the city's more striking evening spectacles.
