What FACTLY found

Yamuna Aarti was not performed for the first time recently. The Delhi government held the first-ever Aarti at Kudesia Ghat on 13 November 2015. The viral video was shot at Vasudev Ghat, near ISBT Kashmiri Gate, developed under Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena’s initiative and inaugurated on 12 March 2024. Aarti is conducted here every Sunday and Tuesday. Additionally, we also found multiple old videos of Aarti at Vasudev Ghat.
