Kalighat was a Ghat sacred to Kali on the old course of the Hooghly river in the city of Calcutta. The name Calcutta is said to have been derived from the word Kalighat. The river over a period of time has moved away from the temple. Made on mostly cloth or paper scrolls, Kalighat paintings are so named due to the thriving settlement of the patuas or cloth-painters around the temples of Kali at Kalighat in Kolkatta. ... The brushwork on these paintings are deemed by experts as deft, seamless, flowing and one of the smoothest art forms in India.
