Documented history specific to Riwan Ghat is thin compared with the city's landmark ghats, and it is used mainly by the local community for everyday bathing and river access rather than for any particular festival or pilgrimage rite.
It's a short stretch of steps best seen as part of a longer walk or boat ride between Ganga Mahal Ghat and Tulsi Ghat, where the character of the riverfront — rather than any single monument — is the main draw.
