Babughat, Heritage ghat by Hooghly River in Kolkata, India
The ghat features grand Doric-Greek columns supporting a pavilion structure along the eastern bank of the Hooghly River in central Kolkata.
Rani Rashmoni established this ghat in 1830 to commemorate her husband Rajchandra Das, a prominent landowner from the Janbazar area of Kolkata.
During Durga Puja celebrations, the ghat transforms into a central location for religious ceremonies and traditional practices including idol immersion rituals.
The adjoining bus terminal serves as a major transportation hub connecting Kolkata to various cities in Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and West Bengal.
The facility maintains regular ferry services operated by the Inland Waterways Corporation, connecting multiple points including Howrah, Chandpal Ghat, and Telkal Ghat.
