Manikarnika Ghat is open 24 hours, 7 days a week, with no entry fee for visitors. Cremation rituals continue here day and night without pause. As a visitor, you should dress modestly, maintain silence, avoid photographing the funeral pyres, and keep a respectful distance from grieving families. Early morning or evening visits offer a calmer, more contemplative experience.
