Babughat is one of the many ghats built during British Raj, along the riverbank of Hooghly on Strand Road. The ghat has a tall colonial structure, which is the landing berth of the ghat. It is a fine Doric-Greek style pavilion with huge pillars. The ghat is named after Babu Raj Chandra Das, husband of Rani Rashmoni and zamindar of Janbazar, who built it in 1830 in memory of her late husband. It is second oldest ghat of Kolkata.
