Ganesh Ghat



Ganesh ghat, recently created by the Corporation as a creekside 'chowpatty' for Kalyan residents is currently the most popular place in town. Apart from the mandatory 'bhel-puri' 'paani-puri' stalls and portable merry-go-rounds it also seems to have a 'katta' for people to hang out.If you want to enjoy the place in the peace of midnight, to watch the many faux suns of sodium vapor lapms reflected in the serene water of high tide.........You cannot! Even if you are alone, the cops drive you away..or so I was told.

Durgadi Fort


The picture shows temple of Goddess on Durgadi fort, the famous creek side keep of Shivaji Maharaj which guarded the busy Kalyan harbor  Lighthouse-type markers from that bygone era can still be seen even today, standing on both banks of the creek and lighting the passage to the harbor.
