Outram Ghat

The stone steps of Outram Ghat descend into the Hooghly River, creating a traditional landing space for boats and religious ceremonies along the waterfront.

Named after British General Sir James Outram in the colonial period, this Grade I heritage structure has functioned as a central meeting point since the East India Company era.

Local residents gather at the ghat for morning baths, religious ceremonies, and traditional rituals, particularly during the annual Durga Puja celebrations.

Visitors can purchase tickets for daily cuisine cruises that depart from the ghat, offering river tours with local food services along the Hooghly River.

Sunday cruises from Outram Ghat extend their route to include special stops at Shutanuti Ghat, Baghbazaar, and Belur Math along the river course.
