বাবুঘাট Bābughāṭ
The second-oldest surviving ghat in Kolkata, originally named "Baboo Raj Chandra Ghat" after the husband of Rashmoni Dasi, better known as Rani Rashmoni. She built it in 1830 in memory of her late husband. The landing berth of the ghat has a tall colonial structure, with a fine Doric style pavilion and tall columns. Sadly, thanks to the day bustle for bathing, rituals and leisure, the pavilion today is completely encroached by vendors and priests. The section of Babughat originally meant for women's bathing has turned into a garbage point. The ghat is also used for immersing idols, as well as Chhath. Furthermore, Babughat is a major transport hub of the city, being served by bus, ferry and local train.

The oldest high court in India, and a scene of legendary legal battles even today. It was established as the High Court of Judicature at Fort William in 1862. The building was built in the Gothic architectural style, and was exactly copied from the Staadhans (Cloth Hall) in Ypres, Belgium.
Regional headquarters of State Bank of India (SBI), the oldest bank of India. It was founded on 2 June 1806 as the Bank of Calcutta, mainly to fund General Wellesley's wars against Tipu Sultan and the Marathas. The bank was renamed to Bank of Bengal in 1809, then Imperial Bank of India in 1921 and then State Bank of India in 1955. The building contains State Bank Archives and Museum, an initiative to document and preserve the history of banking in India. The museum contains original documents, memorabilia, statues, artefacts, dioramas and murals on public display. It also provides a peek into the personal finances of influential Bengali Renaissance figures such as Rabindranath Tagore, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar and Annie Besant.
Built in 1813, in the Doric style of architecture, it is now the City Magistrate’s Office. It hosts a museum and a library. The museum depicts the history of Kolkata and adjacent areas.

Nair, who once fell in love of the metropolis so much that he spent most of his life there, then he returned to Kerala.
