This place could provide one with a slice of Patna life: especially for foreign tourists, it could showcase, on the one hand, modern tableau whereby young lovers (mostly teens!) throng under concrete sheds, and many stealthily creep inside nook and cranny for little intimate time; but, on the other hand, one may see people having a tonsure under spiritual regulation of Hinduistic tradition, immersing remains of their beloveds in the holy water, and participating in recitals of mantras under the guidance of their priests.

This ghat is also a small business hub: small boats carry passengers across the bank of the Ganges for a small amount (₹30, if you could bargain well!); there is also a government-run boat, which is bigger than privately-run boats, that charges about ₹100 for a tour of the Ganges. The only condition is that it must have, at least, twenty passengers or else it will not run. Your money is returned if it does not run. Unfortunately, I have hardly seen the government boat run! Besides business, one might sight people bathing (male and female in front of each other!) and fishing.

Quite unlike many other places in Patna, the Gandhi Ghat is much neat and clean. It also has a restaurant where one may fill their stomach. The food of the Bhagirathi Vihar restaurant is okay. The servers are also pleasant.

The only feature of this place that I have problem with is that the so-called holy Ganges receives (probably of the whole city's!) sewage. Due to this fact, it could be called unholy Ganges. The local civic authorities have no clues; the state and central governments announce ambitious projects but to no avail. So anyone who visits this place, DO NOT TAKE DIP.

Nevertheless, this bank has always provided me peace of mind in the time of stress, and it also inspires me in the creative space.
