Man Mandir Ghat, is one of the oldest ghat in the city located to the
north of Dashashwamedh Ghat. Originally known as Somesvara Ghat, this
place by Raja Savai Man Singh has an exquisite structure of Rajput architecture
with fine balconies at the north end. A small observatory founded by the
Raja can also be seen in the ghat. Man mandir ghat houses temples such
as Sthuladanta Vinayaka, Rameshwara and Someshwara. Someshwar temple is
known for its lingam of Someshwar (the Lord of the Moon) which is the
replica of that in the Gujarat Somanath temple.
