点评:Tourism in Varanasi, resolves around the holy river maa Ganga and the Ghats on its banks. 89 ghats are there in Varanasi and all of them are pleasant but selected few have great importance in the mythology. Harishchandra ghat is also one of such great ghat which has mythological importance and is one of the oldest ghat of Varanasi. This Ghat is located between Ganga ghat and Mysore ghat.
Harish Chandra Ghat is name after a mythological king Harish Chandra, who once worked at the cremation ground here for the perseverance of truth and charity. Harish Chandra Ghat is one of the two cremation Ghats in Varanasi. Other cremation ghat is Manikarnika Ghat, which is known as the most ancient and continuously active cremation ground in the world. It is believed that Harishchandra Ghat cremation ground is older than Manikarnika Ghat and hence it is also known as Adi Manikarnika.
In Hindu mythology it is believed that if a person is cremated at the Harish Chandra ghat, that person gets salvation, which is Moksha from life and death cycle.
翻译:瓦拉纳西的旅游业主要围绕圣河恒河及其河岸的河坛展开。瓦拉纳西有 89 个河坛,每个河坛都景色宜人,但只有少数几个在神话中具有重要意义。哈里什昌德拉河坛也是具有神话意义的伟大河坛之一,也是瓦拉纳西最古老的河坛之一。这个河坛位于恒河河坛和迈索尔河坛之间。
哈里什昌德拉河坛以神话中的国王哈里什昌德拉的名字命名,他曾在火葬场工作,坚持真理和慈善。哈里什昌德拉河坛是瓦拉纳西的两个火葬河坛之一。另一个火葬河坛是马尼卡尼卡河坛,它被称为世界上最古老、持续活跃的火葬场。据信,哈里什昌德拉河坛火葬场比马尼卡尼卡河坛更古老,因此它也被称为阿迪马尼卡尼卡。
在印度神话中,人们相信如果一个人在哈里什·钱德拉河坛火化,那么这个人就会得到救赎,也就是从生死循环中获得解脱。
