Varanasi: The proposal of constructing Ganga view gallery, which was added to the Kashi Vishwanath Dham (corridor) project in March to create a giant platform at one of its entry points near Manikarnika Ghat, still awaits approval of the state government.
Supervising KV Dham project PWDs executive engineer Sanjay Gore said, “The proposal of four new features including the Ganga view gallery added later to already started project is waiting for the state governments approval. Completing this formality was delayed as before the government could go through it, the massive surge in Covid cases started with the intensifying of its second wave. Tackling this wave had become priority for all.”

The razing of an old building created a huge space near the ghats, bringing relief to us, as initial alignment of approach road from ghats to KVT was in zigzag shape
VARANASI: The Kashi Vishwanath Dham (corridor) will now also have a giant platform that will enable a panoramic view of the beauty of the holy Ganga in flow and ghats on one side and the entire corridor area as well. Since the platform will provide a clear, unobstructed view of the holy river, it is being referred to as ‘Ganga View Gallery’ in the project.
The addition of the new feature has been possible after the dilapidated buildings purchased late were razed. The huge space created by the demolition has provided the leeway to make some changes in the approved design of the corridor project even after completion of over 30% construction. It has enabled the alignment of approach roads from access points near Manikarnika, Jalasen and Lalita Ghats to KV Dham, making it more convenient for visitors.
