==History==
The [[Narayan dynasty]], in 1830, constructed a palace by the river [[Ganges|Ganga]] in Varanasi. The palace was called "Ganga Mahal" (Mahal means palace in Hindi). Since the Mahal (palace) was housed on the ghat, the ghat was named "Ganga Mahal Ghat". Stone steps between [[Assi Ghat]] and Ganga Mahal Ghat separates the two ghats. This palace houses the design studio of Hemang Agrawal<ref>http://www.livemint.com/Leisure/OqKKcliauy3m1ljDW7dmGN/Kashi-in-the-closet.html</ref> whereas the upper floors are used by the "Indo-Swedish Study Centre" organised by [[Karlstad University]].<ref name="Ganga Mahal Ghat"/><ref name="Ghats of Varanasi"/><ref name="About Ghats"/><ref name="The Varanasi Heritage Dossier"/>

==Location==
Ganga Mahal Ghat is situated on the bank of the Ganges. It is 6 kilometers south-east of [[Varanasi Junction railway station]] and 100 meters north of Assi Ghat.<ref name="Location">{{cite news|title=Location|publisher=Google Maps|access-date=11 September 2015|url=https://www.google.co.uk/maps}}</ref>
