The Kalighat project is an urban renewal and architectural restoration initiative of one of the most historic sites in India located in the central area of Calcutta. The buildings are over 600 years old and have been a significant tourist attraction for people both within and outside India.

  The area is now surrounded by urban blight. TBP is helping International foundation of Sustainable Development in association with the State and Central governments to catalyze the redevelopment of the entire area to make it more livable and accessible. The initial phases of planning are beginning to take shape and the initiative is making positive progress with government and local collaborations.

  Kalighat is an important pilgrimage centre for Indian Tourists/Pilgrims from India and all over the world who visits Kali Temple for Holy Darshan of "Goddess Kali". Kalighat also attracts overseas tourists who pay their visit to Nirmal Hriday. Mother Teresa's Home for Destitutes. Pilgrims for Gngasagar Mela come as far as from Surat and western coats in large numbers.

Kali Temple Gate on Northern side has a statue of Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary in a building of Islamic architecture. There is a Greek Church and a Sikh Gurdwara in the project area.

Kalighat Redevelopment Project (KRP) as proposed will improve the ecology and environment of the area while attracting tourists from all over India and overseas, who are presently discouraged due to untidiness, congesting and poor infrastructure and access to Kali Temple.
On completion of KRP, the Kalighat destination may be included in the Pilgrimage Circuit to visit Gangasagar- Kalighat - Belur Math - Dakshineshwar - Mayapur as an integrated package or single destination package.

The river cruise from proposed Embarkation Jetty near Princep Ghat will be an attractive route for top-end Indian Pilgrims and Foreign Tourists to visit "Kali Temple" hassle Free.

The entire Gangasagar-Kalighat-Belur Math-Dashineswar- Mayapur pilgrimage circuit will be accessed through river cruise as a intra-circuit pilgrimage tour package.
