| The last of the remaining gates of the old walled
city is Nigambodh Gate. Located on northeastern edge the city
on the Ring Road near the Yamuna Bazaar, Nigambodh Gate derives
its name from the popular Nigambodh Ghat. According to the legend
the ghat belongs to the period of Mahabharata. It was on this
ghat that Lord Brahma is said to have bathed and recovered his
lost memory and sacred books and thus the name Nigambodh Ghat,
meaning realization of knowledge. |
