AHIRITOLA GHAT is a historical landmark located in Kolkata, West Bengal. The average rating of this place is 4.60 out of 5 stars based on 105 reviews. The street address of this place is Ghat, Ahiritola, Beniatola, Kolkata, West Bengal 700005, India. It is about 0.17 kilometers away from the Sovabazar-ah railway station. Ahiritola Ghat will always be close to my heart, I have some fond memories associated with this place. The view of the river is very soothing, you can get the aroma of the real 'Calcutta' when you stand on the steps here. Only bothersome point about this place is that it needs to be maintained and cleaned regularly. The public as well as the people who reside here litter the ghats, hence it becomes really dirty. Also, people should not be allowed to have a bath or wash their clothes here, as the chemicals from the shampoo/ soap litters the river. Bhoothnath Mandir is also located along the ghat and remains crowded most of the times. Overall, a lovely place for the old-school souls. The Holiness of the Ganga breeze will purify your soul and calm your mind. Just have a up of tea from local sellers and sit on the stairs of the ghats on the river and spend some time with yourself or closed ones and you’ll know it. Local people are very friendly and helpful. You can enjoy a range of tasty street foods here. Have a great time. 5Ahiritola Ghat will always be close to my heart, I have some fond memories associated with this place.

The ghats of Kolkata hold a significant cultural and historical importance in the city. These riverfront bathing and ceremonial steps have been a part of Kolkata's landscape for centuries. One such prominent ghat is Ahiritola ghat, which has witnessed numerous events and cultural celebrations throughout its existence. Ahiritola ghat is located on the banks of the Hooghly River in North Kolkata. It derived its name from the Ahir community, who were traditionally involved in cattle farming. This ghat carries a unique charm and showcases the cultural diversity of the city. The serene and picturesque view of the Hooghly River from Ahiritola ghat mesmerizes visitors. The gentle breeze from the river, the sound of water lapping against the steps, and the stunning sunset serve as soothing companions for those seeking solace amidst the bustling city.

Ahiritola Ghat is not just a physical location; it's a cultural and spiritual hub that embodies the essence of Kolkata. It offers a glimpse into the city's soul, where tradition meets modernity, and where the Ganges River continues to be an integral part of the city's identity. A visit to Ahiritola Ghat is an enriching experience that provides a deeper understanding of Kolkata's cultural tapestry and its profound connection to the river that flows beside it.

It was overcrowded during morning time on the day of Mahalaya. There were about twenty to thirty thousands devotees present all the time for offering Tarpan. Step of the ghat has almost three feet rise and it is submerged. Since it is not visible from top, devotees must be alert before moving towards the river to avoid sudden fall which may become fatal.
