Prinsep Ghat

Am Abend sind wir zum Sonnenuntergang zum Prinsep Ghat gefahren. Ein Park am Hoogly neben der Vidyasagar Setu, der Second Hooghly Bridge.
Es hat sowas von geregnet, aber das Licht war dann sehr gut und konnten tolle Fotos machen.

„Prinsep Ghat is a ghat built in 1841 during the British Raj, along the Kolkata bank of the Hooghly River in India. The Palladian porch in the memory of the eminent Anglo-Indian scholar and antiquary James Prinsep was designed by W. Fitzgerald and constructed in 1843.“

„Ghat, a term used in the Indian subcontinent, depending on the context could refer either to a range of stepped hills with valleys (ghati in Hindi), such as the Eastern Ghats and Western Ghats; or the series of steps leading down to a body of water or wharf, such as a bathing or cremation place along the banks of a river or pond, the Ghats in Varanasi, Dhobi Ghat or the Aapravasi Ghat.[1][2] Roads passing through mountain ghats are called Ghat Roads.“Meer informatie
