Photos Of Babu Ghat
Kolkata, West Bengal, India
The Historic Waterfront: Babu Ghat is one of the oldest and most significant river ghats in Kolkata, built in 1830 by Rani Rashmoni in memory of her husband, Babu Raj Chandra Das. Located along the Hooghly River on Strand Road, it has served as a vital landing point for centuries. The ghat is steepe d in history, witnessing the city's transition from a colonial trading post to a modern metropolis. The atmosphere here is a unique blend of spirituality, commerce, and daily life. Early mornings see devotees taking a holy dip in the Ganges, while the evenings are filled with the rhythmic sounds of the Ganga Arati. The ghat is a major transit point for commuters using the ferry services to cross over to Howrah. It is also a significant site during festivals, especially Durga Puja, when the idols are immersed in the river amidst great pomp and show. The surrounding area is dotted with colonial-era buildings and small temples. For many, Babu Ghat is a place of quiet reflection, watching the sunset over the massive Howrah Bridge in the distance. The ghat also serves as a hub for long-distance bus services to other states, making it a bustling transit zone. Despite the crowd, there is a sense of timelessness as the river flows silently past the ancient pillars. The ghat has been a favorite spot for photographers and artists who want to capture the "soul" of Kolkata. The colonial architecture of the pavilion, though weathered, still retains its majestic charm. A visit here offers a glimpse into the deep-rooted religious and social fabric of Bengal. The ferry ride from here is one of the cheapest and most scenic ways to experience the city's riverfront.
