GANGA ADITYA

Kashi Khand states  that Lord Surya positioned himself at a particular place in Kashi so as to worship Holy river Ganges.

It is believed that even today Lord Surya is residing at the above place reciting Stotras of Ganges and blessing his devotees.  The form of Surya at the Ghat of Ganges came to be known as Ganga Aditya.
