About Bihar School of Yoga, Ganga Darshan
Founded by Swami Satyananda Saraswati in 1963, this is one of the most respected yoga institutions in the world, and the Ganga Darshan ashram on a hill above the river is its home. It is not a drop-in tourist site: casual visitors are not admitted, and you come either for a course or a satsang by prior arrangement through the ashram. Seen from the Ganga or the fort, the hilltop buildings are a landmark of the town.
What to see and do
- Ganga Darshan ashram on Karnachaura hill
- Satyananda Yoga tradition
