Kumartuli Ghat gets a festive makeover ahead of Mahalaya, with colourful murals, cleaner riverbanks, food stalls and new spaces to unwind by the Ganges
Kumartuli Ghat in North Kolkata is getting a brand-new look ahead of Mahalaya. Once known for its worn-out and neglected riverbanks, the ghat has been transformed into a cleaner, more welcoming hangout spot with cemented steps, colourful murals celebrating Durga Puja, public toilets, food stalls, illuminated surroundings and more. From sipping lebu cha in a bhaanr to catching the sunrise and sunset by the Ganges, the revamped Kumartuli Ghat is ready to become a new favourite spot in North Kolkata.
