Kids Playing in the Ghats of Kolkata
Debraj Purkayastha
Kolkata, also known as the "City of Joy," seamlessly blends traditions, culture, and memories with its bustling urban landscape.
One of the city's nostalgic memories is of children playing in the iconic ghats*, which have always been a hub of joy, recreation, and bonding for people of all ages, creating a lasting nostalgia that warms the hearts of those who have grown up witnessing these enchanting scenes. Located primarily along the banks of the Hooghly River, the ghats have been integral to Kolkata's culture and history for centuries, serving as gathering points for spiritual rituals, leisurely strolls, and heartwarming interactions.
