इस घाट के बारे में दो कहानियां प्रचलित हैं। पहली कहानी कहती है कि भगवान विष्णु ने शिव की तपस्या करते हुए अपने सुदर्शन चक्र से यहां एक तालाब खोदा था। उनकी प्रार्थना से आया पसीना तालाब के पानी में मिल गया और जब शिव उसे देखने आए तो वे प्रसन्न हुए। विष्णु के कान से कुंड में गिरी मणिकर्णिका (कान की बाली) उस घटना की याद दिलाती है।

दूसरी कथा के अनुसार भगवान शिव अपने भक्तों के बीच इतने लोकप्रिय हैं कि उन्हें उनसे फुर्सत ही नहीं मिलती। इस बात से देवी पार्वती नाराज हो जाती हैं, । इसलिए वह शिवजी को रोके रखने के लिए अपने कान की मणिकर्णिका वहीं छुपा दी और शिवजी को उसे ढूंढने के लिए बोलती है । जो शिवजी नहीं कर पाए।  तब से, मणिकर्णिका घाट पर जिस किसी का भी अंतिम संस्कार किया जाता है, वह उस व्यक्ति से पूछता है कि क्या उसने इसे देखा है। मणिकर्णिका घाट विशेष रूप से उस स्थान के लिए प्रसिद्ध है जहां हिंदू अंत्येष्टि लगातार आयोजित की जाती है और चिता हमेशा जलती रहती है। यहां जानिए इससे जुड़े 10 राज।

Manikarnika Lakshmi Bai, or Laxmi Bai was born in November 19, 1835 in Kashi, India. She was brought in the Brahman household of Peshwa Baji Rao II.

Unlike most girl’s upbringings, she was brought up in the boy’s court and trained in the martial arts. She had a thing for being an equestrian and sword fighting.

Marriage and Children

In 1842, she married the Maharajah of Jhansi, named Gangador Rao, therefore becoming Queen of Jhansi. She took on her own name, Laxmi Bai, even after marriage. She was widowed without bearing an heir. However, before the Maharajah’s death, he adopted a boy as his heir.

The Governor- general of India in that time, was Lord Dalhousie. He refused to recognize the boy as a legitimate heir and annexed the kingdom in accordance with the Doctrine of Lapse. The Doctrine of Lapse was a formula to deal with Hindu Indian states, in terms of questioning succession. Typically, an heir that was adopted would have all rights of succession taken away due in favor of Western rule.

The 22 year old Queen refused to let her kingdom be annexed. In 1857, she ruled as regent on behalf of the heir. During the uprising against the British, she rapidly organized her troops for her own battle. Some of these troops included rebels in the Bundelkhand region.

Within a year, by 1858, due to the rebels uprising with the Queen of Jhansi, the city of Sagar was captured by General Hugh Rose, who was appointed Commander of the Central India force, who laid siege to Jhansi. The same year, the company’s forces surrounded the fort of Jhansi. From there a fierce battle raged.

Laxmi Bai never gave up no matter what. She fought like a badass Queen even if her troops were overwhelmed. One rebel leader, Tantia Tope joined her. She managed to escape from the fort with a small force of palace guards where other rebels joined her. Then Tantia Tope and Laxmi Bai finally mounted a successful assault on the city-fortress of Gwalior. A prominent leader, Nana Sahib was proclaimed as the peshwa of Gwalior. After taking Gwalior, Laxmi Bai confronted an attack on Rose’s forces in Morar. She was killed in combat, at the age of 22 in 1858.
