Anupshahr Ganga Ghats

Anupshahr Ganga Ghats are a series of riverfront steps on the western bank of the Ganga River at Anupshahr town in Bulandshahr district, Uttar Pradesh. The ghats serve as a prominent bathing and pilgrimage centre for devotees who come for holy dips and rituals. Associated with the historic town founded on the riverbank, the ghats offer open river views, temples and evening prayers and are a key religious and leisure spot in the region.

Visitors can expect a wide stretch of stepped ghats descending to the Ganga River with open views of the river and sandy banks. The area includes small temples and shrines near the water, bathing areas where pilgrims take holy dips, and open platforms used for evening Ganga Aarti. The setting is open and riverside with ghat steps, paved areas, and nearby food and flower stalls. Boating is often available near the ghats and the site is most active during mornings, evenings and festival days.

Anupshahr town was founded in the 17th century by Raja Anup Singh Badgujar and developed as a river town on the Ganga. The ghats have long served as the town's riverfront for bathing, trade and religious functions and remain linked to the historic Anupshahr Fort area near the riverbank.

The ghats are a sacred site for Hindus for bathing, ancestor rituals and festivals. Large gatherings occur on Kartik Purnima, Ganga Dussehra and during the annual Kartik Mela when devotees take holy dips and offer prayers to the Ganga. Evening aarti is a regular cultural and devotional practice.
