Ghat
As used in many parts of Northern South Asia, the term ghat refers to a series of steps leading down to a body of water, particularly a holy river. In Bengali-speaking regions, this set of stairs can lead down to something as small as a pond or as large as a major river.
==Etymology==
''Ghat''s refer to the areas in holy river-side cities like Varanasi and Haridwar where stairs exist to reach the Ganges. It is also used for mountainous regions like the Western and Eastern Ghats.
The word Ghat is explained by numerous Dravidian etymons such as Telugu ''katta'' and ''gattu'' (dam, embankment) Tamil ''kattu'' (side of a mountain, dam, ridge, causeway) and Kannada ''gatta'' (mountain range), . This etymology was proposed by Burrow and endorsed by Mayrhofer and Asko Parpola.
Also in Slavic languages present word ''gat'',what means corduroy road.
