Excellent place to go with family and kids. It's a great historical place, there are too many things in this place to discover and know about the history. It's one of the iconic places of Hooghly. But the time to open the place is different in every month, so you should getting to know details about the timeline before going there.

Maximum places for hangout in bandel are closed from pandemic to till now. After lot of searching we got this place. Entry Charge is Rs. 10/head. Not a picnic place but you can go with the out food for refreshment but plz dnt go with any non veg item. As it is a religious place Not great but nice place for hangout and photography not more than from 1 hour. After one hour the place make u feel boaring. No idea of evening view of this place

A beautiful mosque-cum-Imambara located in Hooghly, about 60 km from Kolkata, this place is apt if you are a lover of art and history. Imambara refers to a congregation hall that is generally built by the Shia sect of Muslims and used extensively during Muharram. Constructed over a period of 20 years (from 1841 to 1861) by Hazi Mohammad Mohsin, this imposing structure consists of a two-storeyed building with a central rectangular courtyard. There is a fairly large rectangular tank in the centre of the courtyard dotted with fountains that do not seem to function anymore. The building itself is a magnificent creation with a grand entrance flanked on either side by towers that are around 80 feet tall. In between them is the signature clock tower that stands tall, reminiscent of the glorious days of the Muslim raj and the nawabs in Bengal. The architecture is elegant with intricate patterns on the walls and texts from the holy Quran engraved on them. The mosque has some splendid lanterns and chandeliers that add to the colonial charm of the place. Climbing the steps inside the tower takes you to the top, which offers panoramic and scenic views of the Hooghly river and the Jubilee Bridge. The site, however, is in need of some renovation and restoration with parts of the wall being damaged and in need of urgent repairs. The Hooghly Imambara is located in close proximity to the Hooghly Railway Station and is very close to the Bandel Church.

Wonderful place to visit on the weekends with friends and family. Great architecture and dont miss out on climbing the 120 steps to the top of the clock tower where you get a majestic view of the Hoogly River and the town. Entry fee is a bare minimum of Rs 10 and the place is well maintained.

Great place to visit. Try to visit between 4pm - 5pm. The golden hour really looks great. On other hand if you want to see the sun clock in action, you have to visit during mid-day. The steps of the towers are little steep and not well-lit. Please be little careful.
