A large number of tourists from India and abroad visit the Ganga Ghats of Varanasi. Especially in the summer season, a large number of tourists like to go boating in the morning and evening. Meanwhile, keeping in mind the birth anniversary of Nishad Raj, the boating community has made preparations to take out different tableau processions on the Ghats by keeping the boating operations closed on 2nd April.

Different tableaux will be taken out:
Shambhu Sahani from the Sailors' Organization told ABP News while talking to them that keeping in mind the birth anniversary of our ideal Nishad Raj ji, it has been decided by the boatmen brothers of all the ghats that boat operations will be shut down on the entire ghat on 2 April. During this time, tableaux and processions related to Lord Ram, Shankar Ji, Ganesh Ji, Bajrangbali and Nishadraj Ji will be taken out in a grand manner from different ghats. All the boatmen brothers will be engaged in this event. Keeping this in mind, boat operations will be shut for one day on April 2.

There will be no facility to watch Ganga Aarti from a boat.
Tourists reach Varanasi in large numbers to watch the evening aarti held on the world's ancient ghats. During this time, tourists like to watch the aarti while boating. Due to the closure of boat operations on April 2, tourists will not be able to go boating during the evening aarti.
