PAST EVENTS
Kolkataโs Iconic Ghats
The journey through Kolkataโs ghats, beginning with Bagbazar Ghat, was truly captivating.
The history of each ghat unfolded and revealed the eminent people like Sarada Ma,
Ramkrishna Deb who had visited them. Many of our members felt a personal connection, as
most of them had travelled on the Ganges from these Ghats.
During the post-discussion, our members added more historic features to these ghats. They
also mentioned about several other ghats that once thrived but have now slowly diminished
due to reduced water levels. It was truly fascinating to uncover so much about these
remarkable places.
Poila Boishakh on the Ganges
Our members celebrated Poila Boishakh at Floatel on the banks of the river Ganges. They had a fantastic time, sharing stories, singing and dancing. After the lunch our members travelled by a vessel from Floatel to Nimtala ghat. The evening unfolded with the mesmerizing aarati at Babughat, casting a spell of awe and reverence. Throughout this joyous excursion, the Support Elders team dedicatedly ensured the comfort and safety of all, ensuring a memorable experience from start to finish.

who had been sent there as convicts. Our member Prof. M. Deb presented his research on
the Andaman Islands, from the British period to the modern, highlighting the patriots in the
