Malik Ghat Flower Market, Kolkata (Calcutta)

I have never seen such a huge market in my life. You can enter to the market by getting down from the Howrah bridge.The arrival of flowers/leaves and other decorative stuffs starts at 4am in the morning,too much rush after 4am.u cannot enter the market if you are not used to big crowd. You find local labourers lifting huge load of flowers and walking around. Also you will find different varieties of flowers there. It's a must visit place if you are going to kolkota.

Full of Flowers, Full of Lovely Colours, Full of Fragrance. Most Inspiring Sight. We can see the Market from the Road above, which itself is a Magnificient and Memorable Sight. We can get any flower at this Place. Prices are Seasonal, but generally reasonable. Sight and Smell of Exotic flowers will make anyone forget about the lack of cleanliness of the Surroundings. In total, worthy place to visit to be among the Flowers which are Children of Nature.

How to reach: take any bus towards Howrah station. Ask the conductor in the bus to stop at Mullick ghat. What to expect: a large place occupied by several flower wholesalers. Cheap price. This place is open for 24 hours. Flowers are fresh as stocks are renewed twice a day. Flowers are sent from here to international exhibition too

Witnessed a street fight. Lots of pushing and touching. Malnourished animals were just hanging out. Not a huge fan of the muddy ground. Flowers looked nice tho.

This place has the essence of Old world charm Beautiful,colorful flowers everywhere, shopkeepers shouting for flowers and arranging them various ways, this place is a Charming and can attract anyone to have a stroll here and buy some flowers.....Love this place.
