Riverside ghat on the Hooghly (Ganga) with wooden ferries, long riverscapes, rusting jetties and local life — great for moody dawns, golden-hour sunsets and documentary street portraits. Best at sunrise for calm water and pastel skies, or late afternoon for warm side light. Easily reached from Kolkata by road or local train; limited parking near the ghat, no entry fee. Expect locals, fishermen and occasional puja activity — respect rituals and ask before shooting portraits.
