Munshi Ghat - Built in the year 1812 along with part of the palatial building, the Munshi Ghat is named after Sridhara Narayana Munshi, who was a finance minister in the estate of Nagpur. In 1915 the Brahmin king Kameshwar Singh Gautam Bahadur of Darbhanga (Bihar) purchased this ghat and extended it. The extension later became known as Darbhanga Ghat. The palatial building of Darbhanga Ghat is made of sandstone from Chunar, with beautiful porches and Greek pillars.In 1994 the Darbhanga palace was purchased by the Clarks Hotel Group, who named it as Brijrama Palace. It is now a 5 star hotel.
