It is one of the largest [[ghats]] in [[India]]. During Narmada Jayanti celebrations the ghat comes alive when thousands of people converge on the ghats and diyas are floated in the river. The ghat was built after generous contributions by Jankibai Sethani from the Sharma family in [[Narmadapuram]] after devotees complained to her about the difficulty in getting to the river, Hence the ghat is named after her. It is one of the few examples of public infrastructure built through private funding in India. A photo of Narmada from Sethani ghat can be seen in the book ''Jungle Rahe Taki Narmada Bahe!'', by Pankaj Srivastava. | ||
