चौसट्ठी घाट

Chousatthi Ghat, named after the 64 Yoginis with Chousatthi meaning sixty-four, was constructed by King Pratapaditya of Bengal in the 16th century, and later restored by Raja Digpatiya. 

At the top of the ghat stands the Chousatthi Devi Temple. The temple once housed the 64 Yogini idols, though only a few remain today—among them, the elephant-headed Gajanan and peacock-headed Mayuri, are placed on the ghat’s steps. 

This ghat is especially revered during Navratri and Rangbhari Ekadashi, when devotees place offerings to the goddess before Holi begins. It’s also a favoured site for ritual bathing, meditation, and other ceremonies among the Bengali community. 

Despite its understated architecture, Chousatthi Ghat holds a deep spiritual resonance—a place where tantric energies once stirred, and where the river still whispers of ancient feminine power.
