In the morning, devotees come to perform the surya namaskar (praying to the Sun god), and take a dip in the river.

The Tulsi Chabutra is a platform near the ghat that is said to be where Tulsidas wrote the Ramcharitmanas, an epic poem written in the awadhi language, and today considered as one of the greatest works of Hindi literature.</font></div><div><font face="arial">&nbsp;</font></div><div><font face="arial">Another legend associated with Raj Ghat says that the sacred river of Sarayu has its underground source at this point.
