Massacre Ghat is a great sightseeing spot and a family hangout area in Kanpur. Located on the banks of the Ganga near Jajmau, this Ghat covers the northern part of Kanpur. Officially named as the Nana Rao Ghat, this place is also known as the Sati Chaura Ghat as it was the very site where women used to perform the terrifying ritual of Sati.
The Massacre Ghat was also a significant maritime route between Kanpur and Allahabad. With the Satya Ashram Mandir built here in 1966, the Ghat used to facilitate bathing during the ancient times as well. This green space of the Massacre Ghat also has a sandpit nearby. Also known as Akhada in the local language, it is a site for local wrestlers. There is also an annual wrestling competition held between July and August.
