Babu Ghat - Heritage Ghats of Kolkata

Babu Ghat (Baje Kadamtala Ghat) is one of the many Ghats built during the British Raj, along the bank of River Hooghly on Strand Road at Kolkata side. In Colonel Mark Wood’s Map of 1784, Babu Ghat was the Southern boundary of Dihi (village) Calcutta. Dihi Govindpore started from that point and extended as far as the Adi Ganga, known as the Tolly Nullah. The Ghat was built in 1830 by Rani Rashmoni, the then Zaminder of Jan Bazar, in memory of her husband Late Babu Raj Chandra Das. However, it was also popularly known as “Rani Rashmoni Ghat”. Babu Ghat is the second oldest Ghat of Kolkata.
