At the Kolkata end of the Howrah Bridge, as one gets off on the right, or southern side of the bridge and you can descend into the heart of Mullick Ghat Flower Market. Passing through the maze that is the market, as one tries and get closer to the river, the first ghat to stumble upon, right next to the bridge, is the Rai Bahadur BissessurLal Hurgobind Sradh Ghat.
The ghat that was erected in 1916. In front of the Ghat one will find a raised area with parallel bars. This spot was in use as a wrestling ring by local “pehelwans”. Nearby are also five banyan trees, each containing a small shrine at its base.
A narrow and slippery path leads down to the river from the Bissessurlal Hurgobind Sradh Ghat. Taking this path, keep going south, further away from the Howrah Bridge.
