What is it like?

Princep Ghat is located along the banks of the river Hooghly. It was built during the British Raj in India. The Palladian porch built in memory of James Prinsep (after whom the ghat is named) is known for its impressive architecture. The Vidyasagar Setu, also known as the Second Hooghly Bridge, overlooks the Prinsep Ghat. There are numerous food stalls in the area. They also provide boating facilities that take people accross the river. The lights under the bridge look beautiful at night.

What do you do there?

I usually visit Prinsep Ghat during late afternoons and sit on the banks of the river Hooghly. Sometimes, I walk along the beautified riverfront between Prinsep Ghat and Babughat (Baje Kadamtala Ghat) and have some fast food from the local shops. At other times, I might take a boat ride on the Hooghly River.

Why do you enjoy spending time there?

The scenic view of Princep Ghat, especially during sunsets, is quite spectacular. It leaves me spellbound. I like to sit near the banks of the river Hooghly and enjoy the light breeze during the evenings. It makes me feel refreshed and calm. Occasionally, some young people might come to the Ghat and sing. I like the aesthetic vibe it creates. I also love the occasional boat rides and the almost 2-kilometer walk along the riverfront from Princep Ghat to Baje Kadamtala Ghat. The foods from the local shops are also very delicious and always leave me wanting more. These are the reasons why I love each and every moment spent at Prinsep Ghat. It makes me feel refreshed and alive.

Numerous rowing and swimming clubs also exist in this complex, among which the Calcutta Rowing Club (CRC, 1958) is one of the oldest clubs.

What do you do there?

I usually go for morning and evening walks at Rabindra Sarobar Lake. Sometimes, I even sit beside the lake and watch the children playing in the park. At other times, I go to the park with my friends after a tiring day and simply sit and spend some time with them.

The Rabindra Sarobar Lake has great scenic and aesthetic beauty that I completely enjoy. I love walking in the grass of the gardens in the Lake. I enjoy the fresh air at the Lake during my morning and evening walks. It makes me feel refreshed and alive. I also enjoy the chirping sound of the different birds at the Lake. The light breeze along the paths of the Rabindra Sarobar Lake is quite pleasant and I completely enjoy it, especially after a tiring day at work. These are the reasons why I love to spend my time at Rabindra Sarobar Lake.

What is it like?

The Indian Museum, also known as the Imperial Museum at Calcutta, is the oldest and largest museum in India. It was built by the Asiatic Society of Bengal and consists of numerous rare collections of artifacts, fossils, antiques, ornaments, armor, paintings, etc. The architecture is also magnificent. The Indian Museum has its own exhibition from time to time and allows visitors with passes to attend them allowing people to know more about historical times.

What do you do there?

I get really excited whenever I get an opportunity to visit the Indian Museum. Each time, I make sure to enter all the thirty-five galleries in the Museum. In fact, I always click some photos of the artifacts. Sometimes, I even sit on the grass in the central courtyard of the Indian Museum. I visit all the galleries which consist of different historical, anthropological, and scientific items which makes me feel excited to know about it.

Why do you enjoy spending time there?

History always interests me. Therefore, I completely enjoy spending my time at the Indian Museum. I have been pleasantly surprised during each of my visits to the Museum. This is because each time I get to see or learn something new. The museum also has a very impressive collection of rocks and minerals. As a geography student, this greatly excites me. The rooms containing the fossils of ancient humans and animals also leave me awestruck. The Indian Museum will always remain one of my favorite places in this city.
