Another ghat on yamuna in Delhi is the Nigambodh Ghat.
According to the legend the ghat belongs to the period of Mahabharata. It was on this ghat that Lord Brahma is said to have bathed and recovered his lost memory and sacred books and thus the name Nigambodh Ghat, meaning realization of knowledge.
It is believed that ...the ghats were established by the eldest Pandava brother, Prince Yudhisthira, the king of Indraprastha.
The Yamuna (Sanskrit: यमुना, sometimes called Jamuna or Jumna) is the largest tributary of river ganga. Originating from the Yamunotri Glacier it travels a total length of 1,376 kilometers before merging with the Ganges at Sangam,Allahabad. Nearly 57 million people depend on the Yamuna waters. It is worshipped as goddess Yamuna, throughout its course. This is an endeavour to connect with this great river.
