Calcutta Rowing Club, Rowing club and heritage building in Kolkata, India

The Calcutta Rowing Club stands on Rabindra Sarobar lake, featuring a structured boat house where members practice water sports throughout the year.

Founded in 1858, the club survived a devastating cyclone in 1864 that destroyed its original boat house, forcing reconstruction of a temporary structure.

Members of the Calcutta Rowing Club participate in the Head of the Lake Regatta, established in 1933, maintaining traditional rowing competitions.

The facility at 15 Rabindra Sarobar provides reciprocal arrangements with over 100 international clubs, allowing members to access rowing facilities worldwide.

The club earned recognition in 1950 by winning trophies in sculls, pairs, and fours at the All-India Regatta, matching a record from 1936.
