Ghats on the western bank of the Ganga are the most popular tourist attractions in Varanasi. Kshemeshwar Ghat, one of the historically & religiously important ghats of Varanasi, was also known as Someshwara Ghat and Nala Ghat in the past. In 1931, Motichandra had first mentioned it as Someshwar Ghat, but there is no temple or ‘teerth’ in the name of Someshwar on the ghat. On top of the ghat is a shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva & known as Kshemeshwara Mahadev Temple
