It is very beautiful nd peaceful at the same time. Best time to visit is in the evening. Here r some of the clicks from my phone when the sun was setting. Just see the reflection and colour of the sun. It's beautiful ❤ But generally in the morning you can see people doing their funeral rituals. So that must be a chaos. But after 3pm it is free and you can sit there and have a chat.

Clean ghat.....beside bagbazar stn.This ancient ghat is where Sarada Ma spent her final days. Walk around the ghat and you'll spot a couple of platforms made for the evening aarti.

This place has always been amazing. The experience here is simply equal to relaxation and peace. But people need to be careful about two things 1. The Ganges 2. The railway track. Apart from this everything is great. The best time to visit during winter is the afternoon and evening, due to the soothing weather and cool breeze. During summer I would recommend to visit in the morning.
