Near the southeast end of Howrah Bridge, this flower market is fascinatingly colorful virtually 24 hours a day. However, if you visit at daybreak.

you'll see whole sellers arrive with huge consignments of flowers that are then auctioned to retailers. Many workers live in makeshift shacks, bathing in the river behind from a ghat with sunset views of Howrah Bridge. At around 7am, local wrestlers practice their art on a small caged area of sand set slightly back from the river.
