The Palladian porch in the memory of the eminent Anglo-Indian scholar and antiquary James Prinsep was designed by W. Fitzgerald and constructed in 1843. Located between the Water Gate and the St George's Gate of the Fort William, the monument to Prinsep is rich in Greek and Gothic inlays. It was restored by the state's public works department in November 2001 and has since been well-maintained.[1] In its initial years, all royal British entourages used the Prinsep Ghat jetty for embarkation and disembarkation.[2][3][4] Prinsep Ghat is one of the oldest recreational spots of Kolkata.[4] People visit it in the evenings on weekends to go boating on the river, stroll along the bank and purchase food from stalls there. One stall selling ice-cream and fast food has been there for more than 40 years. A {{convert|2|km|adj=on}} stretch of the beautified riverfront from Princep Ghat to Babughat (Baje Kadamtala Ghat) was inaugurated on 24 May 2012.[5] It has illuminated and landscaped gardens and pathways, fountains, and renovated ghats. One of the songs in the Bollywood film Parineeta was shot here on the ghats.[4] Prinsep Ghat also has a railway station named after it. The station is part of the Kolkata Circular Railway which is maintained by Eastern Railway. The station code is PPGT.[6] There is a jetty nearby called the Man-O-War jetty that belongs to the Kolkata Port Trust and commemorates the role played by the port in the Second World War. The jetty is mainly used by the Indian Navy. {{Multiple image|direction = |image1 = |image2 = |footer = }} GalleryReferences1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.gits4u.com/wb/wb12.htm|title=Hooghly River around Kolkata|publisher=Gits4u.com|date=|accessdate=2012-08-03}} {{Commons category|Prinsep Ghat}}{{Tourist attractions in Kolkata}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://kolkata.clickindia.com/tourism/ghats.html|title=Ghats in Kolkata - Kolkata Ghats - Information about Kolkata Ghats - Kolkata|publisher=Kolkata.clickindia.com|date=|accessdate=2012-08-03|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120423164312/http://kolkata.clickindia.com/tourism/ghats.html|archivedate=2012-04-23|df=}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.indfy.com/west-bengal/kolkata/tourist-places-to-visit/princep-ghat.html|title=Princep Ghat Kolkata|publisher=Indfy.com|date=|accessdate=2012-08-03}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.wherewasitshot.com/2010/08/02/princep-ghat-kolkata/|title=Princep Ghat – Kolkata|publisher=Where Was It Shot|date=2010-11-10|accessdate=2012-08-03|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120721003708/http://www.wherewasitshot.com/2010/08/02/princep-ghat-kolkata/|archivedate=2012-07-21|df=}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Swanky riverfront opens to public|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/Swanky-riverfront-opens-to-public/articleshow/13459553.cms|accessdate=26 May 2012|newspaper=Times of India|date=25 May 2012}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://indiarailinfo.com/station/map/8894|title=Princep Ghat/PPGT Railway Station Satellite Map - India Rail Info - A Busy Junction for Travellers & Rail Enthusiasts|publisher=India Rail Info|date=2011-04-03|accessdate=2012-08-03}} 4 : Ghats in Kolkata|History of Kolkata|Monuments and memorials in West Bengal|Tourist attractions in Kolkata |
