★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There are almost 100 ghats—places with steps leading down to the water—along the holy Ganges River (Hoogly River) in Kolkata, The main group contains around 25 of them, and it extends from Dassi Ghat north to Raj Ghat. The ghats date back to the 14th century but most were rebuilt, along with Rani Rashmoni , in the 18th century by Bengalee rulers. They are either privately owned or have special significance in Hindu mythology, and are primarily used for bathing and Hindu religious rituals. However, there are two ghats (Rashmoni and main temple ghat) where cremations are solely performed.
A highly recommended, albeit touristy, thing to do is take a dawn boat ride along the river from Rashmoni ghat Ghat (the main ghat). A walk along the Dakhineahwar ghats is also a fascinating experience, although do be prepared for some filth and to be hassled by vendors. If you're feeling a bit daunted and would prefer to be accompanied by a guide, go on this riverside walking tour offered by Dakhineahwar Magic.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Dakhineshwar Ganga Ghat is perhaps the most famous Ghat in Kolkata, and that is for many reasons. People come here from all over the world to take a holy dip in the divine river which is right next to the Dakhineshwar Kali Temple. You get to experience so much positive vibration and dynamism in the events and activities by just standing on the ghat and observing them around you- feeling the powerful, divine energy and the tranquillity of the river Ganga at the same time. There is a bridge called the Vivekananda Setu (Bally Bridge) on the left, where you can observe the beautiful sight of trains and vehicles, too. You can also enjoy a boat ride across the river to reach some popular destinations like the Belur Math and Adyapeeth. It is simply an incredible experience to be here and just observe, feel the energy.

Dakshineswar Kali Temple is a Hindu navaratna temple located at Dakshineswar, Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Situated on the eastern bank of the Hooghly River, the presiding deity of the temple is Bhavatarini, a form of Parashakti Adya Kali, otherwise known as Adishakti Kalika.The temple was built in 1855 by Rani Rashmoni, a Zamindar, philanthropist and a devotee of Kali. The temple is known for its association with Ramakrishna and Ma Sarada Devi, mystics of 19th Century Bengal.
The main temple was inspired by Navaratna style Radhakanta temple, built by Ramnath Mondal of Tollygunge. The temple compound, apart from the nine-spired main temple, contains a large courtyard surrounding the temple, with rooms along the boundary walls. There are twelve shrines dedicated to Shiva—Kali's consort—along the riverfront, a temple to Radha-Krishna, a bathing ghat on the river, a shrine dedicated to Rani Rashmoni. 'Nahabat', the chamber in the northwestern corner just beyond the last of the Shiva temples, is where Ramakrishna and Maa Sarada spent a considerable part of their lives.
