Begin your day with Subah-e-Banaras — the dawn Ganga Aarti, chanting and music at Assi Ghat — then glide past the ghats at sunrise on your own private boat.
Subah-e-Banaras ("Morning of Banaras") is the daily dawn programme at Assi Ghat. Before sunrise, priests perform a morning Ganga Aarti, followed by Vedic chanting, Indian classical music and a yoga session on the ghat — a peaceful, spiritual way to start the day in Varanasi.
Watch the programme from the ghat or from the water, then step onto your private boat for a sunrise boat ride along the 50 ghats from Assi to Manikarnika, as the city wakes up around you.
A calm dawn Aarti, very different from the busy evening ceremony.
Vedic chants and classical music on the ghat.
A morning yoga session on the steps of Assi Ghat.
Continue on a private boat as the sun rises over the Ganga.
Reach Assi Ghat before dawn to see the morning Aarti and chanting. Timings move with the season — earlier in summer, later in winter — and we confirm the time for your date on WhatsApp.
Board your private boat as the sky brightens and ride north past Tulsi, Shivala, Kedar and Dashashwamedh Ghat. Prefer the evening? See the Assi Ghat evening Aarti boat.
Call or WhatsApp our Varanasi booking team to confirm availability for your date.
