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.
