The city of Kolkata stands as one of the unique centres among Indian cities. Vibrant culture and dazzling heritage with a pinch of colonial effect make it an interesting place. Hoogly river a tributary of the holy river the Ganges flows along with the city of Kolkata, before disappearing into the Bay of Bengal, the broad concrete slipway sliding towards the river called ghats form a connection between Kolkata and the Hoogly river, these ghats are a favoured destination for many to escape the rigors of city life. For more than a century people have used these to access the river for their everyday needs, from bathing, fetching water, swimming, to getting on and off boats. They also have a distinct cultural and religious significance, as many rituals of Hinduism take place next to the river.
