Bus Rental Ranchi to Sultanganj

Ranchi to Sultanganj — The Kanwar Yatra Starting Point

Sultanganj is a small town on the banks of the Ganga in Bhagalpur district, Bihar — and it is the traditional starting point of the most important Kanwar Yatra route in eastern India. Every Shravan month, millions of Kanwarias from Jharkhand travel to Sultanganj to collect holy Gangajal before carrying it to Deoghar Baidyanath Dham. The 320 km journey from Ranchi takes approximately 6 hours.

Sultanganj Ghat — Extraordinary Shravan Atmosphere

The Sultanganj ghat during Shravan is one of the most extraordinary sights in India. Hundreds of thousands of saffron-clad Kanwarias fill their pots in the Ganga at all hours of the day and night. The sound of "Bol Bam" chants fills the air continuously. The Ajgaibinath Temple — situated on a rocky island in the middle of the Ganga — is itself a major pilgrimage site.
