Princep Ghat - Bank of the River Ganga@Kolkata | ঐতিহাসিক প্রিন্সেপ ঘাট | Heritage Place

Prinsep Ghat is a ghat built in 1841 during the British Raj, along the Kolkata bank of the Hooghly River in India. The Palladian porch in the memory of the eminent Anglo-Indian scholar and antiquary James Prinsep was designed by W. Fitzgerald and constructed in 1843. Located between the Water Gate and the St George's Gate of Fort William, the monument to Prinsep is rich in Greek and Gothic inlays. It was restored by the state's public works department in November 2001 and has since been well-maintained. In its initial years, all royal British entourages used the Prinsep Ghat jetty for embarkation and disembarkation. Prinsep Ghat is one of the oldest recreational spots in Kolkata. People visit it in the evenings on weekends to go boating on the river, stroll along the bank and purchase food from stalls there.
