Millennium park, Babughat - Park in Kolkata - Kolkata, India

Millennium Park is located on the Huguli River's eastern bank. It is close to the BBD Bagh bus stop. It is only 1.5 kilometres from Howrah Bridge. It is possible to stroll down from Howrah Bridge to this location. You can also get here via ferry (boats/cruise) from Howrah. Boat fair is extremely inexpensive (rs 10). Millennium Park is divided into two sections that extend to opposite sides, north and south. The park comes to an end on the south side at Babu ghat. The main feature of Millennium Park is the view of the Huguli River (which, of course, can be seen from other locations). A ferry ghat is also located near The Park. Large boats transport passengers to and from Howrah. As I already stated, the fair is quite low, less than Rs 10. However, the ferry ghat is located outside of Millennium Park. You do not need to purchase a Millennium Park ticket to visit the ferry ghat. The park's trees and plants aren't that great. There are few benches for sitting. The riverbank is enhanced by elegant fence and a series of light posts. The Howrah Bridge may be seen from everywhere in the park.

Great place to spend leisure. If you come early or before 5pm then you will witness Ganga Arati. Pleasent ambiance.

Good place..u can sit and enjoy the Hooghly river..it's long strech from bajakadamtala ghat to high court..really good place.

Millennium Park has become deserted, maintained only for appearance's sake. All shops and attractions have been closed, and the park's cleanliness has deteriorated. There is no longer an entry fee for visitors.

Babughat (also Babooghat, or Baje Kadamtala Ghat,[1] and Baboo Raj Chandra Ghat) is one of the many ghats built during British Raj, along the bank of Hooghly River on Strand Road, Kolkata at B. B. D. Bagh, Kolkata. The Babu Ghat pavilion on Strand Road, Kolkata The ghat has a tall colonial structure, which is the landing berth of the ghat. It is a fine Doric-Greek style pavilion with huge pillars.[2] The ghat, originally known was Baboo Raj Chandra Ghat, is now only known by first words Baboo-ghat or Babu-ghat. Babu/Baboo in Bengali means Sahib or gentleman. The ghat is named after Babu Raj Chandra Das, husband of Rani Rashmoni and zamindar of Janbazar, who built it in 1830, in memory of her late husband.[2] A marble tablet beneath the pediment implies that some of the credit for the erection of the ghat must go to Lord William Bentinck as he encouraged such spending with a view to improve public amenities. It is second oldest ghat of Kolkata.[3] People performing Chhat Puja on Babughat, Kolkata The pavilion today is completely encroached by vendors and priests. The old colonial structure and stairs leading to the river are in various stages of decay and derelict. A section of ghat originally meant for bathing of ladies has turned into a garbage point now.[2][4] Even so, the ghat is bustling with crowds since morning till late evening with people who use it for bathing, puja, religious ceremonies, massage and leisure. During Chhat Puja, a huge crowd can be seen on Babughat performing their puja. The ghat is also used during Durga Puja, Saraswati Puja rather in all festivals for immersion of idols.
