Conveniently perched on the river bank, on the Chausatti Ghat , is the Hotel Sita, one of the oldest landmarks of the city. The history of the place dates back to the 16th century by Raja Pratapaditya who constructed this Ghat which later in 18th century was reconstructed by Raja Digpatiya of Bengal. On the Ghat, Chausati Devi temple is established because of which ghat is named as Chausati Ghat. Before Chausati Devi temple, Chausath Yogini Temple was situated in Rana Mahal which was constructed in shape of Chausath Yogini Temple of Khajuraho and Jabalpur.

Besides this, a Kali Devi temple and Smarak of Raja Pratapaditya are also established near a Peepal tree on Ghat.
