Destination guide

Cremation Ghat by the Sugandha

শ্মশান ঘাট

The town's Hindu cremation ghat on the Sugandha bank, near the temple quarter above the main bazaar — part of Jhalokati's riverside face that locals point out on any town walk. It is a place of mourning, not sightseeing — observe from a respectful distance and skip photography entirely.
