Tulsi ghat is named after the famous 16th century poet
Tulsidas, who spent many years here composing the Ramcharitmanas. His
manuscript, it is said, floated instead of sinking in the Ganga. The first
performance of Ramlila was held here. A temple of Ram stands on the ghat.
The house in which the poet died preserves his samadhi, his wooden clogs,
pillow and the idol of Hanuman which he worshipped. There is also a piece
of wood from the boat used by him to cross the Gang
here composing the Ramcharitmanas. His
