Panchal Ghat is the most prominent among the ancient Ganga ghats of the district, lined with historic temples and frequented by devotees throughout the year. Other significant ghats include Quila Ghat, Rani Ghat, and Bargadiya Ghat.
Historically, around 36 ghats extended from Kampil to Khudaganj, including Ataina Ghat, Dhai Ghat, Mughal Ghat, Chunnilal Ghat, Shahji Ghat, and Rani Ghat. During the British era, these ghats served as major trade centers, where boats traveling from Kolkata to Garhmukteshwar transported goods such as salt, indigo, opium, and textiles.
These red sandstone ghats are renowned for intricate carvings and fine craftsmanship. Natural pigments derived from lime, lentils, milk, and flowers were used in decorative artwork, enhancing their architectural beauty. These ghats remain enduring symbols of Farrukhabad’s artistic and historical legacy.
