Why go

She built it in 1830 in memory of her late husband. The landing berth of the ghat has a tall colonial structure, with a fine Doric style pavilion and tall columns. Sadly, thanks to the day bustle for bathing, rituals and leisure, the pavilion today is completely encroached by vendors and priests. The section of Babughat originally meant for women's bathing has turned into a garbage point.
