Mullick Ghat is a 130 year old flower market, the largest in Kolkata, and one of the biggest in Asia. Located right under the southeast end of the Howrah bridge, the market runs along the riverside. This market is an amazing sensory experience. You will be lost in the fragrance of the thousands of flowers, their colours and the bustle of the crowds that visit every morning when the fresh flowers arrive. If you’re into photography, this a great place to hang out with your camera. There are colours here suited for every frame and composition. If you’re going to catch the flower market at its peak, go early around 7 am. The light is just right to catch the vibrant colours on frame, plus all the sellers arrive around this time with their fresh stock. But the place is open throughout the day till late evening, and can be visited at any time. Early evening is also a great time to be here to catch the sunset on the riverfront. by Famous Places in India
