Nishad Ghat was a part of the Prabhu Ghat until the 20th century. Later, the ghat was separated and inhabited by boatmen families whose small boats and nets can be seen here. One of the boatman families built a temple on this Ghat and named it as Nishad Raj Temple. The temple is dedicated to Nishadraj, the boatman who ferried Lord Rama to cross a river during his exile. He is believed to be the primary god of the boatmen community in Varanasi.
