At Dasaswamedh Ghat, priests clad in traditional dhoti and kurta orchestrate the ceremony with grace and devotion. Elevated wooden platforms are arranged, and ceremonial items such as brass lamps, incense, flowers, and an idol of Goddess Ganga are placed with precision.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"btn btn-outline-primary btn-show-read-more\" href=\"#read-more\" role=\"button\"> Read More <\/a>\r\n\t<div class=\"collapse collapse-read-more\" id=\"collapse_rm\">\r\n\t\r\n\r\nOnly highly learned priests from Vedic and Upanishadic traditions perform this revered ritual.
