Kudghat (Bengali: কুঁদঘাট) is a neighbourhood in South Kolkata, in the Indian state of West Bengal.
Location
Kudghat is located on either banks of the Adi Ganga, the main flow of the Hooghly River from the 15th to 17th century connecting Kolkata to the Vidhyadhari River to the east.[1] Further deepened by William Tolly for transportation and trade purposes, it has virtually dried up and now serve as a prime drainage outlet during the rainy seasons[2]
