After you leave the museum, keep walking along the Strand to arrive at Durgacharan Rakshit Ghat (also known as Rani Ghat). This peach-coloured structure combines eastern influences in the form of elephants and flowers along with slender columns and typical European stucco work.
If you read the slab, you will know that this pavilion was built in the honor of Durgacharan Rakshit, the recipient of the French award of Legion d’honneur in 1896 for his efforts towards the growth of Chandannagar. He was a writer, a businessman and an advisor to the French establishment.
