PROJECTS
The restoration of the ghat involves restoring the river’s ecological
health and improving public access. Our approach is to have new
seating, shaded gathering areas, safe pathways, and flood-resilient
landscapes create a welcoming space for prayer, recreation, and
cultural events. Interpreting the legacy of the poet-saint Ramprasad
Sen, the design weaves storytelling and heritage into the public
realm, transforming the ghat into a clean, inclusive, and culturally
respectful waterfront for all.
