Laal Ghat:

The southern part of the Ghat was constructed by the king of Tijara (Rajasthan) in early 19th century. In 1935 king Baldev Das Birla bought the Ghat along with the adjoin river bank and built a big palace for his personal residence and also renovated the entire ghat. Before 1988 the southern and northern end of this ghat was used by the local washer men. In 1988 irrigation department repaired the ghat with the help of UP government.

Amongst all other temple Goprekshwar Shiva temple is notable. Though the common people take holy bath here at this ghat for the entire year but in the full moon of the month of Magha people celebrate a big religious festival here.
