Description
Built during the colonial era, Princep Ghat is one of Kolkata's earliest recreational spots. Both locals and tourists from other parts of the nation visit this place to spend moments of repose. The presence of the Hooghly River right next to it adds uniqueness and immense beauty. By far, the most iconic feature of this place is the Palladian porch that was built in the memory of James Princep - the renowned Anglo-Indian scholar and antiquary. The intricate Greek and Gothic inlays on this structure give off a brilliant look.
