[4][5][6] King of Nepal, Rana Bahadur Shah took exile in Varanasi from 1800 to 1804 and titled himself as "Swami Nirgunanda".

During his exile, he decided to build a ghat to house replica of Pashupatinath Temple in Varanasi.

The spot chosen was Lalit Ghat, which was named after the Lalita Gauri mandir.

[1][9] It is believed that a person who worships Lalita Gauri, will attain wealth and prosperity.

[5] Lalita Gauri mandir is situated on the Ck.1/67, Lalita Ghat, 5 kilometers South-East of Varanasi Junction railway station and 300 meters East of Kashi Vishwanath Temple.
