Kashi Khand states that Lord Surya positioned himself at a particular place in Kashi so as to worship Holy river Ganges.
(GANGA ADITYA)
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.
A staunch devotee, who worships Ganga Aditya will never face any mishap and will never be cheated by anyone. (Kashi Khand, Chapter 51).
